Embattled Premier League side, West Ham United, have reportedly submitted a sum of £25 million to have the signature of Nigerian striker Terem Moffi this month.

There is no doubt about the fact that Moffi has been in superb form this season for Lorient in the French Ligue 1 where he has scored 12 goals.

Moffi scores against Monaco

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Super Eagles striker, Terem Moffi was on target for Lorient on Wednesday night, January 11, in a match against Monaco which ended in a 2-2 draw.

Lorient went into this game with the target of impressing their home fans, but they were unable to get the three maximum points.
