Nice winger Allan Saint-Maximin has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Cardiff City and West Ham United.

Saint-Maximin can count Nice as his fifth club at the age of 21, but the attacker has established himself as a regular at the Ligue 1 outfit, with seven goals coming from 45 appearances since joining the club in 2017.

According to The Sun, Cardiff boss Neil Warnock has already sent scouts to watch the attacker and West Ham have also been left impressed by the player's performances.

Cardiff are likely to be keen on strengthening their squad at the midway point of the campaign as they look to retain their place in the Premier League.

West Ham are expected to be in the market for a replacement for Andriy Yarmolenko, who is unlikely to return from an Achilles injury until April.

Saint-Maximin's contract is due to expire in 2020.
