Hammers boss David Moyes needs to bolster his central midfield ranks at the London Stadium this summer.

The same can be said of Toffees manager Carlo Ancelotti and Spurs boss Jose Mourinho.

West Ham have been linked with a move for Juventus star Aaron Ramsey fairly persistently over the past couple of weeks.

Calcio Mercato claimed just a few days ago that the Hammers are in pole position to bring the former Arsenal man back to the Premier League.

The Toffees and Spurs chasing the 61-capped Wales International will make the Hammers’ task of signing him incredibly difficult.

The 30-year-old has suffered horrendous injury problems throughout his career.

Ramsey does possess genuine quality, however. And if the Juve ace maintains his fitness for the next few years, he might just be a useful addition for West Ham, Everton or Tottenham.

The 30-year-old midfielder has exceptional technique and was once described as an ‘outstanding technician’ by Martin Keown.

The Toffees and Spurs will be better placed than the Hammers to afford Ramsey’s enormous salary (Calcio Mercato).

Much will depend on where all three clubs finish in the Premier League table this season.

Whether he ends up playing his football at the London Stadium, Goodison Park or the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium remains to be seen, however.
