West Ham and Aston Villa already ‘lining up’ for midfielder – Ready for ‘next step’ in his career in summer

Eintracht Frankfurt’s Djibril Sow will be on West Ham United and Aston Villa’s radar for the summer window.

Kicker on Thursday has a report on certain players from the Bundesliga side who could leave the club after this season, where they state Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krösche is fighting for the future of the current XI.

Sow is included in the list and it’s claimed both West Ham and Aston Villa are ‘lining up’ to sign him, as the Switzerland international has a contract expiring in 2024

With the Hammers and Unai Emery’s side after the player, he is of the belief the next window will be the right time for him to take the ‘next step’ in his career.

He will have a year left on his deal after this season and it could be Eintracht Frankfurt’s last big chance to cash in from his sale, and that’s likely why West Ham and Aston Villa are readying themselves, knowing he could be rather cheap.

Operating as a defensive midfielder and in the middle of the pitch, Sow has featured 27 times in all competitions this season, scoring two goals in the process.
