According to a report from French media outlet RTBF, Wolves and Aston Villa are now in for alleged West Ham target Christian Luyindama.

Turkish media outlet Takvim claimed a couple of days ago that the Hammers are interested in signing the Galatasaray ace.

West Ham desperately need to bolster their central defensive ranks in the summer. Angelo Ogbonna will be 32 in May, whilst Winston Reid cannot be relied upon anymore from a fitness perspective.

Issa Diop has also been linked with a move away from the London Stadium.

Takvim claimed that the Hammers will try to address that issue by bringing in £14 million-rated Luyindama in the summer.

But it looks like they won’t have things their own way now.

RTBF claims that Wolves and Aston Villa are now in for the 26-year-old.

Stats

In 10 league outings for Gala this season, the 26-year-old has won 4.4 aerial duals on average per game. He has also averaged 1.7 tackles, 1.2 interceptions and 3.8 clearances per game during those appearances (Who Scored).

Galatasaray chairman Mustafa Cengiz described Luyindama as a player with real character who has the heart of a warrior.

The Democratic Republic of Congo international has all of the tools needed to succeed in the Premier League.

For £14 million, he would be a decent addition for West Ham.

But it now seems that they will have their work cut-out if they want to sign Luyindama, with Wolves and Aston Villa allegedly targeting him as well.
