Hammers boss David Moyes will surely be keen to bolster his left-back options.

Aaron Cresswell has gone backwards this season. Arhtur Masuaku, meanwhile, just isn’t good enough or consistent enough to be playing for a Premier League side.

Mikel Arteta and Frank Lampard will surely want to do the same, however.

And Kurzawa might just be the ideal addition for West Ham. Although it will be far from easy for the east London club to beat Arsenal and Chelsea to his signature.

Football.London claims that the Hammers could have an advantage in the race to sign the France international because they would be able to offer him more regular first-team action.

FC Inter news claims that the 27-year-old will demand wages in the region of £100,000 per week.

Now, that will obviously prove tricky for West Ham. But his availability on a free transfer this summer will undoubtedly enhance the Hammers’ chances of securing his services.

Stats

The 27-year-old is a top talent, and in 14 Ligue 1 outings for PSG this season, he has averaged 1.6 tackles, 1.3 interceptions and 1.1 clearances (Who Scored).

Kurzawa is a real threat going forward. He has 21 assists and 13 goals in 123 appearances for PSG (Transfermarkt).

Signing the PSG ace would be a major coup for West Ham. Especially considering the reports claiming that Arsenal and Chelsea want him too.

And according to Football.London, they have a good chance of bringing Kurzawa to the London Stadium this summer.
