West Ham United make £4m bid for Mexican winger Jurgen Damm?

West Ham United have made an official approach for Mexico international Jurgen Damm, according to a report.

The Hammers are said to have tabled a £4m bid and are confident of landing the Tigres winger, despite Mexican rivals Chivas offering more.

Damm was linked with a move to Arsenal in 2015 and has been monitored by European scouts in recent months after earning a recall to the national side.

It is claimed by The Sun that the pacey midfielder - dubbed the second fastest on the planet after Gareth Bale - has been targeted by United boss Slaven Bilic to provide competition in the wide positions.

Tigres would likely be more willing to sell to a foreign club, and it is suggested that Damm is also keen on sealing a move to the English top flight.
