West Ham in big-money offer for Porto's Moussa Marega, who will not play any part in the Supertaça

West Ham in big-money offer for Porto's Moussa Marega, who will not play any part in the Supertaça

Porto's striker Moussa Marega, who was in lethal form in the Primeira Liga last season, is pushing for a move to the Premier League.

Having spent the last three seasons in the Portuguese top-flight, Marega has been indicating throughout the summer that now is the time to leave, and a move to the Premier League would be ideal for the Malian striker who is desperate to test himself in a new division.

West Ham have since submitted a 30 million euro bid for the powerful forward and, although Porto are keen to hold out for closer to the fourty million mark, an offer in that range may prove too good to turn down.

Marega was in great form for Porto last campaign, helping the side win the league title for the first time in five seasons, scoring 22 goals in just 29 league games.
