West Ham United are the latest high-profile English outfit to be linked with a move for Bohemians and Republic of Ireland under-21 forward Stephen Ward.
Ward has been in fine form for Don Givens's under-21 side in recent months, scoring three goals in three appearances earlier in the year and being named Player of the Tournament at the Madeira Invitational.
His goalscoring threat for Bohs has suffered from being asked to fill a more withdrawn left side of midfield role, but he remains a key part of the international set-up and is likely to start up front against Belgium in Friday night's Uefa qualifier in Galway.
Coca-Cola Championship side Ipswich Town revealed their interest in the 21-year-old earlier this week.
And now West Ham boss Alan Pardew has joined the hunt, having sent a representative to Dalymount Park on Tuesday night to watch Ward in action in an FAI Carlsberg Cup clash with Shamrock Rovers.
