West Ham have an 'accepted' £33.5million offer for the midfielder; Burnley 'rejects' Cornet opening offer

West Ham have won an offer from Lille for Amadou Onana and are 'close' to a deal for Maxwel Cornet after Burnley rejected their first offer, according to reports.

This summer the Hammers have already completed the signings of Alphonse Areola, Nayef Aguerd, Flynn Downes and Gianluca Scamacca, for around £80m in total.

After finally getting a striker through the door at Scamacca, transfer rumors involving the Irons died down.

However, they returned for Lille midfielder Onana after apparently turning down a €23m offer.

That's according to The Guardian correspondent Jacob Steinberg, who says the French club have accepted a £33.5million offer from West Ham.

David Moyes is on the hunt for a new midfielder as he seeks more depth behind Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek.

Mark Noble retired at the end of last season and Alex Kral returned to Spartak Moscow after an interest-free loan spell, which means there is room for a new midfielder in the Scottish manager's team.

Lille had hoped to receive €40m for Onana, but decided to accept an offer initially worth €35m (£29.3m) plus €5m in add-ons .

In addition to Onana, Moyes is eager to sign a new left attacking player and a left back.

They had been linked with Filip Kostic, however, he is now 'expected' to stay at Eintracht Frankfurt.

As for a left-back, the Hammers are reportedly interested in Leicester City's Luke Thomas after letting Arthur Masuaku join Besiktas on loan.

Blackburn Rovers striker Ben Brereton Diaz has been linked with the Londoners, as has Burnley's Maxwel Cornet.

Newcastle United and Everton are also said to be interested in Cornet, although it looks like West Ham are currently leading the race to sign the Ivorian.

The report adds that the Irons had an offer of around £17million turned down by Burnley on Tuesday night.

Cornet has a £17.5million release clause in his contract following relegation from the Clarets, meaning West Ham's offer is slightly bizarre, however, it's likely to be one involving several installments, with any release clause to be triggered with a single payment.

Although their opening offer was turned down, West Ham are 'close to reaching an agreement' to sign Cornet.
