However, he did turn things around during the latter stages of the season, and put in some superb performances in the the semi-final and final of the Europa Conference League.

The Guardian journalist reckons that the Germany international could be moved on this summer.

I have to say, I would be absolutely shocked if this happens. There is obviously a quality player in there somewhere – you don’t play for PSG and get 27 caps for Germany if you’re average.

The Hammers are very short in the centre-back and right-back departments as it is. And Kehrer really did come on leaps and bounds during the final couple of months of last season.

West Ham selling Thilo Kehrer this summer just wouldn’t make any sense as far as I’m concerned.

I’m hoping that there aren’t any legs to this one.
