West Ham interested in potential summer free agent to bolster defence – Player already has PL experience

With a contract running down at the end of the season, it’s only normal for Jordan Amavi to be attracting attention from all corners of Europe.

Linked with Crystal Palace and Arsenal in the past, the former Aston Villa left-back is also a target for West Ham United, according to Il Milanista in Italy.

The website, looking at the situation since Milan are also looking at Amavi to be a backup for Théo Hernández, explain the Serie A side will face the strongest competition from the Premier League.

They state West Ham ‘like’ him, but not just them, with other clubs on the other side of the Channel potentially lining up to offer him a contract and taking advantage of his situation.

Whether the Hammers desperately need a left-back depends on the future of Arthur Masuaku, but with a free transfer potentially on the cards, it’s certainly not a deal they should be turning their nose at.

Nor is it one Amavi can ignore when taking into account how well David Moyes’ men are doing this season.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this.
