West Ham United reportedly could sign giant Mainz midfielder Anton Stach in the summer transfer window.
That’s according to Sky Deutschland who claim that West Ham could be set to battle the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham for the 24-year-old.

David Moyes has a lot of work to do at the London Stadium in the summer, if he is still in a job at the London Stadium of course.
One area in particular that needs improvement is the central midfield department.
Declan Rice is almost certainly set to leave the London Stadium whilst an urgent upgrade on Tomas Soucek is required.
Moyes likes his midfielders to be big, powerful units, so it’s no surprise that a 6ft 4in powerhouse is allegedly on his radar…
West Ham eyeing Anton Stach swoop
According to Sky Deutschland, the Hammers could sign the Mainz midfield ace in the summer transfer window.
I think that Stach could be a really useful addition for West Ham, especially for the quoted price of just £10 million.
Described as a ‘powerhouse’ by MSN, the Germany international has energy, stamina, and obviously power, in abundance.
In 21 Bundesliga appearances so far this season, Stach has averaged one tackle, 1.3 interceptions, 2.6 successful aerial duels and one clearance per game (Who Scored).
The 24-year-old possesses absolutely every physical attribute required to be a success in the Premier League, and he’s pretty good technically as well.
However, he’s not the best passer in the world, so there will be question marks as to whether he’s actually an upgrade on Soucek.
I believe that he is in fact a lot better than the 28-year-old Czech Republic international though.
And if West Ham sign Anton Stach in the summer for £10 million, I believe it will be a very good deal for the club.
