According to a report from the Daily Mail, previous West Ham target Jordan Lukaku is available for just £5 million this summer. And the Belgian allegedly wants a move to the Premier League.

And considering the fact that David Moyes desperately needs to sign a new left-back this summer, the Lazio ace should surely be on the Hammers’ radar.
Aaron Cresswell quite simply are not good enough options for a Premier League club. The east London outfit are not known for spending money on full-backs. And it is time for that to change.
Football.London claimed back in March that the 26-year-old is a target for West Ham.
And the Daily Mail now suggest that Lazio could sell the eight-capped international could be available for just £5 million this summer.
Stats
Lukaku has played 74 games for Lazio. And he has racked up one goal and seven assists in the process (Transfermarkt).
The 26-year-old, the younger brother of Inter Milan hitman Romelu, is described by the Daily Mail as being powerful and pacy with a wicked left-foot.
The Belgium international has made only 13 Serie A appearances for Lazio this season, having suffered a serious knee injury in November.
In 66 league outings for Lazio in total, Lukaku has averaged 0.9 tackles, 0.6 interceptions and 0.7 clearances per game (Who Scored).
The Belgian left-back would be an obvious upgrade on both Cresswell and Masuaku.
And for just £5 million, he would be an absolute snip for West Ham.
