West Ham United and Leeds could battle it out for the signing of Club Brugge attacker Noa Lang in the summer transfer window.

That’s according to Voetbal Nieuws who claim that the 23-year-old attacker is on his ‘farewell tour’ of the Belgian Pro League.

West Ham and Leeds were both linked with moves to sign Lang in the January transfer window, but he ended up staying in Bruges.

The mercurial attacker is an incredible talent and he can be unplayable on his day.

It seems as though we might be seeing Lang at close quarters very soon indeed…

West Ham and Leeds could sign Noa Lang in the summer

Voetbal Nieuws reckon that this season could be Lang’s last with Club Brugge, with the Hammers and the Whites closely monitoring his situation.

We think that Lang would be a very useful addition to David Moyes’s ranks at West Ham in the summer, if we manage to beat Leeds to his signature of course.

He bagged nine goals and 15 assists in 48 games in all competitions for Club Brugge last season. This term he has seven goals and three assists to his name in 25 games (Transfermarkt).

The Holland International has been described as an ‘extraordinary’ player by Smarter Scout.

The talented young Dutchman can play anywhere along the front-line. He is absolutely rapid and possesses exceptional technical ability.

Lang won’t come cheap though. Club Brugge are said to be demanding around €40 million (£35.5 million) for his services according to Voetbal Nieuws.

Having said that, the Hammers will have to be prepared to pay that kind of money for players if we expect to compete with the big boys.

And I think that if West Ham manage to beat Leeds to the signing of Noa Lang in the summer transfer window, it would be a huge coup for us.
