And the 28-year-old allegedly wants to leave PSG before the transfer window slams shut.

Hammers boss David Moyes is expected to be a very busy man in the transfer market between now and the end of the month.

The Scot should be prioritising the signings of a centre-forward and a centre-back. I would be shocked if we don’t bring a defender and an attacker to the London Stadium over the course of the next two weeks.

It seems as though Moyes is on the look-out for a left-back as well.

West Ham enter Kurzawa race

RMC Sport claims that the Hammers have thrown their hat in the ring for the 13-capped France international.

Kurzawa would be a very strong addition to Moyes’s squad.

The 28-year-old is a top talent, and in 19 Ligue 1 outings for PSG last season, he averaged 1.4 tackles, 1.5 interceptions and 1.1 clearances (Who Scored).

Kurzawa is a real threat going forward. He possesses impressive pace and a very good delivery. The Frenchman would certainly provide stiff competition for Aaron Cresswell at the London Stadium.

The Frenchman is an experienced winner as well, with four Ligue 1 titles and eight French cups to his name.

The Sun recently claimed that Kurzawa could be available for a bargain £6 million fee. Signing him for that money seems like a no-brainer for West Ham.
