And it’s little wonder as to why David Moyes might want to sign Sangare, with Hammers midfielder Declan Rice set to leave to join Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

It seems as though West Ham are dithering yet again though…

Nottingham Forest could be about to strike devastating blow to West Ham by signing Ibrahim Sangare

The Athletic reckon that Forest have made an approach to PSV Eindhoven to sign the Ivory Coast international this summer.

Moyes really should be going all out to sign the PSV star – there will not be any better value for money to be had in the market right now.

Smarter Scout describe Sangare as a ‘special’ player, whilst Foot The Ball label him as a ‘midfield marvel’.

The Ivorian has a €37 million (£32 million) release clause inserted into his current contract with PSV (90Min). What outstanding value that will represent for whichever club wins the race for his signature.

And if Nottingham Forest beat West Ham to the signing of Ibrahim Sangare there will be absolutely no excuses for us as far as I’m concerned.

The 25-year-old is exactly the type of player Moyes should be looking to bring to the London Stadium. If the Hammers sign the Ivorian alongside a top-class out and out defensive midfielder, then there’s no reason why we can’t improve as a team after Declan Rice’s exit.

As things stand though, it seems like Forest are the club making concrete moves to sign him rather than us. What a shame.
