The Hammers have been scouting Fode after learning of his impressive performances in PSG’s youth side and this season’s UEFA Youth League.
But with the youngster available for nothing, West Ham aren’t the only side gunning for his signature.
According to , Liverpool, Everton and Tottenham are all closely monitoring his situation.
His attacking prowess and speed down the left flank make him an attractive prospect for clubs particularly with the difficulties of finding a top quality full-back in the current market.
