Teenage striker set to be farmed out to second tier
Skysports.com understands that Portsmouth and Leicester are leading the chase to sign West Ham forward Frank Nouble on a season-long loan.
Swansea also thought to be interested after the teenager impressed at the recent European Under 19 Championship.
Nouble, who spent loan spells at West Brom and Swindon last term, has featured for the Hammers 10 times - including three starts in the Premier League in the 2009/10 season.
But recently-appointed Iron manager Avram Grant looks set to let the imposingly-built 18-year-old leave Upton Park to gain some more experience with six other strikers at his disposal.
