West Ham United 'to launch £15m Andre Gray bid'

West Ham United will reportedly launch a £15m bid for Burnley forward Andre Gray ahead of the new campaign.

The Hammers were linked with a move for the 26-year-old in the January transfer window, but Burnley managed to resist the interest in a player that scored nine Premier League goals last season.

According to The Mirror, West Ham remain interested in the Englishman, and the London club will make a £15m offer in this summer's transfer window.

Gray has scored 33 goals in 78 appearances for Burnley following a 2015 move from Brentford, but the forward only has 12 months to run on his contract at Turf Moor, and it is understood that he wants a much-improved deal.

West Ham have also been linked with a swoop for former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez, who currently turns out for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.
