FC Krasnodar forward Fyodor Smolov is reportedly keen to join West Ham United before representing Russia at the 2018 World Cup.
Smolov, who has scored 61 times in 93 appearances for Krasnodar, was strongly linked with West Ham last summer, and again during the January transfer window.
According to Sky Sports News, the 28-year-old is still intent on making the move to the London Stadium, but wants his future to be addressed before the World Cup begins in June.
Smolov, who has managed 12 goals in 30 appearances for his country, is believed to be valued in the region of £12m by his current club.
Ligue 1 outfit Marseille are also understood to be closely monitoring the former Dynamo Moscow striker.
