West Ham eye move for Valencia star Yunus Musah

West Ham United are interested in a move for Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah this summer, according to a report from GIVEMESPORT.

The Hammers are keen on signing a new midfielder this summer after reaching an agreement with Arsenal over a British-record move for captain Declan Rice. They have been linked with a number of replacements, including Joao Palhinha and Denis Zakaria.

West Ham have indicated their interest in USMNT and Valencia star Musah, who has been made available for a transfer by the cash-strapped Spanish side. His club rejected a verbal offer from Chelsea to sign him in January.

Valencia will look to request a fee of around £20m for the 20-year-old US international, who is also on the radar of Fulham in the Premier League and Serie A side AC Milan.

West Ham will be getting a player capable of impacting the game in several phases of play of they move for Musah, with the 20-year-old quite versatile in midfield.
