The Iceland international has been in scintillating form in Holland this season, netting 28 goals in just 30 games, a sensational return for what is only the 24 year old's first season in Dutch football after signing from Belgian side Lokeren last summer.
Heerenveen technical director Johan Hansma told Voetbal International today, "we have not been contacted by any club yet for Alfred, but we understand he is in the spotlight."
The Hammers are interested in the exciting young forward and have been keeping an eye on his progress in recent weeks, according to Sky Sports.
Finnbogason is the second Icelandic player West Ham have been linked with in recent weeks, with the club also rumoured to be keen on a loan move for Juventus' classy defender Hordur Bjorgvin Magnusson.

They will face competition for Finnbogason's signature should they go for him however, with Premier League rivals Everton, Aston Villa and Sunderland all chasing the former Helsingborgs loanee.
The Black Cats would appear to be in the most advanced position in regard to any move, with chief scout and former West Ham favourite Bryan 'Pop' Robson travelling to Holland last weekend to see Finnbogason score in a 1-1 draw with Ajax at the Amsterdam Arena.
