Cardiff City and West Ham United are after French winger — reports
Winger Alain Saint-Maximin is recovering after five month injury.
Monday 29th October 2018
Cardiff City are tracking French winger Alain Saint-Maximin ahead of a potential January swoop, according to reports.
The Sun and Express claim Neil Warnock sent scouts to watch the 21-year-old OGB Nice wide man, who has scored twice in Ligue 1 this season and clinched one assist.
Saint-Maximin joined Nice from Monaco for £9million in the summer of 2017 and is making steady progress on the French south coast.
He lists Hannover, Saint Etienne and Bastia among his former clubs and has played for France at Under-21 level.
However, West Ham United are also said to be keen on the speedy winger after their summer signing Andriy Yarmolenko suffered an Achilles injury and has had surgey — keeping him out for five months.
The Hammers would likely be in pole position if it came down to finances, with Saint-Maximin's value upwards of £12million.
Cardiff are short of wide options with Nathaniel Mendez-Laing out long term, Josh Murphy picking up a knock in the defeat to Liverpool and last season's mainstay Junior Hoilett worryingly short of form.

Why in God's name would Warnock go for another winger,just wouldn't make sense when you consider how much quality we desperately need in other areas
