West Ham are looking to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfield prospect Fode Toure Ballo for the summer. The 18-year-old has been recommended to West Ham by scouts after string of impressive performances for PSG's reserves and their U19 UEFA Youth League sides. West Ham tried to strike a deal last month for his 17-year-old teammate, striker Jean-Kevin Augustin and remain in the hunt, as do Arsenal. Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Fode Toure Ballo is attracting interest from clubs including West Ham . Sam Allardyce and his West Ham staff have joined the race to sign the PSG youngster in the summer . However, they are making a push now for Ballo as other clubs are also keen on the left-sided midfielder who is equally adept at left-back. Ballo is still on amateur forms and is a France youth international. He has played 12 games for PSG's second string this season. West Ham now hope to persuade the youngster to move to London in the summer.
