Hammers boss David Moyes will be desperate to bring a new striker to the London Stadium this summer. And a top class one at that.

Edouard is allegedly not keen to play for the Reds, however, due to the fact that he doesn’t think he suits their playing style.

That’s where West Ham come in.

Liverpool’s loss would be West Ham’s gain

Edouard would be a great signing for us. Liverpool’s alleged interest in the Celtic ace undoubtedly would have made it harder for us to sign him, however.

So TEAMtalk’s latest claim will definitely boost West Ham’s hopes of bringing the 23-year-old former PSG striker to the London Stadium this summer.

Celtic could sell Edouard for just £15 million this summer according to a report from the Daily Mail.
