West Ham United and RB Leipzig will reportedly go head-to-head for the signature of Caen teenager Yann Karamoh.

The 18-year-old's first season in the Caen first team saw him register five goals in 36 appearances during the 2016-17 campaign.

AS Monaco have previously been credited with an interest in the France Under-21 international, but according to Goal.com, West Ham and Leipzig will battle for his signature in this summer's transfer window.

The report also claims that each club are prepared to pay £8m in an attempt to sign the teenage forward.

Karamoh, who was born in Ivory Coast but represents France at international level, scored 11 times in 28 appearances for Caen II before stepping into the first-team picture last summer.
