Burnley forward Maxwel Cornet is the subject of huge interest after the club's relegation to the Championship, 90min understands.
The 25-year-old netted nine times in the Premier League but was unable to prevent his side from dropping down to the second tier - Burnley's fate sealed on the final day of the season after a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle at Turf Moor.
Relegation has activated a £17.5m release clause written into the five-year contract Cornet signed when he joined the club last summer, and 90min understands that a host of clubs are interested in signing him.
Among those eyeing a move for the Frenchman are West Ham, whose manager David Moyes is keen to strengthen his squad after leading the club into European competition for a second successive season.
Listen now to 90min's brand new podcast, Talking Transfers, with Scott Saunders, Graeme Bailey & Toby Cudworth. This week they discuss West Ham's Declan Rice contract plans, Gabriel Jesus' Manchester City future and how Aston Villa still want Yves Bissouma despite adding Boubacar Kamara to their ranks. There's also chat on Kylian Mbappe's decision to stay at PSG, Aurelien Tchouameni & Mohamed Salah.
Indeed, the Hammers are closing in on their first signing of the summer after holding positive talks with Rennes over centre-back Nayef Aguerd earlier in the week.
Newcastle, Brighton, Everton, Wolves, Crystal Palace, Leicester and Fulham have also contacted Cornet's representatives to gauge his interest in a move, while Arsenal and Tottenham - who sealed a place in next season's Champions League on the final day of the season - think he could add quality cover at full-back or wing-back.
Clubs from Spain, Germany and Italy are also intrigued by Cornet's affordable release clause, making a summer departure from Turf Moor almost an inevitability.
Before joining Burnley, Cornet spent six full seasons at Lyon, and famously scored in the surprise 3-1 win over Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the 2019/20 Champions League.
