West Ham face stiff competition from Stoke and QPR for Porto defender Abdoulaye Ba.
The young Senegalese stopper was on the Hammers' radar in January but boss Sam Allardyce didn’t follow up on his initial interest.
Now Allardyce is back in the hunt but the Upton Park chief will have to battle Premier League rivals for his signature.
