West Ham keen on Shakhtar Donetsk pair David Neres and Lassina Traore

West Ham are keen on Shakhtar Donetsk pair David Neres and Lassina Traore.

The Sun says the Ukrainian club are ready to let their players — including the Brazilian and Burkina Faso forwards — go out on deals after a special transfer window opened to allow those caught up in the war to move clubs.

Shakhtar though fear West Ham, who have a settled squad, could minimise the players' opportunities and risk lowering their value.

So the claims of Lyon, Marseille, Real Sociedad and Corinthians may be more appealing for the troubled Donetsk outfit.

Neres only joined Shakhtar from Dutch side Ajax in the January transfer window for a reported £11million.

Traore meanwhile also joined Shakhtar from Ajax, but in last summer's transfer window.
