Italian Serie A side Fiorentina are in advanced negotiations with West Ham striker Demba Ba in order to sign him in the summer.

Reports in Italy said that Fiorentina are lining up a 6 million euro offer to acquire the services of the Senegal frontman.

According to Football Italia, Fiorentina could sell another Senegalese striker, Ndiaye Papa Waigo, to English side West Ham as part of the deal.

The 26-year-old produced impressive performances with West Ham last season, scoring seven goals in 12 matches but the Hammers were eventually relegated to the second division.
