The Hammers are keen to part with an initial £23 million for the services of the Frenchman, and another £10 million in add-ons if certain clauses are fulfilled.
Fofana has also been linked with Leicester City, but Saint Etienne aren’t keen on letting one of their best players leave this summer.
West Ham have suffered defeats in both of their opening two Premier League games of the season, and they need to strengthen at the back to boost their survival chances this term.
Their attempts to sign Burnley’s James Tarkowski has been rebuffed, and they have now turned attention to the Ligue 1 man.
