Newly appointed West Ham manager, Manuel Pellegrini has express interest in signing Ghana forward, Raphael Dwamena in the summer.

According to reports, the Chilean manager sat down with his new scouting team who made the recommendation.

The FC Zurich striker has scored nine goals in 32 appearances in the Swiss top-flight during the just ended season.

Dwamena was close to a move to the English Premier League last summer but failed a medical at Brighton and Hove Albion.

He previously enjoyed spells with Lustenau and Red Bull Salzburg.
