With the summer transfer season now approaching full swing, West Ham United continue to be linked with a variety of forwards from across Europe and beyond.

On Monday, the speculation continued that the Hammers will launch a bid for Arsenal's England international Theo Walcott, with The Sun, Daily Express and Daily Star all running stories to that end.

Farther afield, West Ham have also been linked with a move for Ivory Coast-born France U21 international Yann Karamoh, who scored five goals in Ligue 1 for Caen last season at the age of 18. This story, which also claims German club RB Leipzig are interested in the teenager, appeared in The Sun.

On a totally different subject, Andre Ayew returned to Ghana to celebrate and mark the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan alongside the country's leading scholars. The full story can be read on GhanaSoccernet.
