West Ham favourites to sign Porto's Marega

West Ham have emerged as the favourites to sign Malian forward Moussa Marega. 

Marega, 28, has caught the attention of many of Europe's biggest clubs after his superb performances in the Champions League, in which he scored 6 goals in his 6 appearances, before Porto lost to Liverpool in the Quarter-Finals.

Marega has not managed to be as impressive in La Liga Nos, scoring just 11 goals this season, after scoring double that last season.

However, he has done enough to attract Premier League attention, with West Ham particularly interested according to the Portuguese press.

The Portuguese outlet Record have reported that Marega is "certain to leave the club" after also clashing with Porto boss Sergio Conceicao after talking about his future.

Marega is likely to be available for €35million (£30.6m), which is his release clause after his new contract.
