West Ham United have reportedly pulled off the transfer coup of landing Ivory Coast striker Lacina Traore.
The Daily Mail says Traore has moved to Monaco from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala but the French club will send him straight out on loan until the summer and the player has agreed to join the Hammers.
The £16million-rated striker will travel to London for a medical but West Ham must await a work permit hearing before he can be declared officially theirs.
