The Senegal international, 24, is expected to leave Vicarage Road following their relegation from the Premier League.

Newcastle and Everton were also reported to be interested in the player.

West Ham are lining up a move for Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall should the Championship side fail to win promotion in Saturday’s play-off final at Wembley.

The Evening Standard said David Moyes is keen to bring in at least one new centre-back this summer as he looks to improve the quality of his squad.

Worrall has been one of the Championship’s standout defenders this term, captaining a Forest side who have turned their season on its head to reach this weekend’s play-off final against Huddersfield.
