West Ham United have joined the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain starlet Fode Toure Ballo, according to The Daily Mail.

The 18-year-old has attracted the interest of numerous clubs around Europe, including the Hammers’ cross-London rivals Arsenal.

He has impressed for both PSG’s reserves and Under-19’s in the UEFA Youth League.

The French youngster is still on amateur forms in France and would be available for a minimal fee if West ham did sure up their interest.

A left-sided player, Ballo usually plays in midfield but can easily slot in at left back and has made 12 appearances for PSG’s second string this season.
