Monaco complete Lacina Traore swoop, West Ham United eye loan deal?

Lacina Traore completes his move to AS Monaco, although reports suggest that he could be immediately loaned out to West Ham United.

AS Monaco have completed the €12m (£9.9m) signing of Anzhi Makhachkala striker Lacina Traore.

The 23-year-old Ivorian has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Monegasque outfit, but could be loaned out to West Ham United for the rest of the Premier League campaign.

Traore, who has scored four in seven for his country, notched 12 goals in 24 games in the Russian league last season, while also netting five times in 12 Europa League appearances.

Should he join the Hammers, then the 6'8" front man would become the tallest ever outfield player to feature in the Premier League.
