West Ham have been linked with a really ambitious move to sign Manchester City ace Kyle Walker.
According to a report from 90 Min, Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker is on the radar of West Ham ahead of the summer transfer window.

However, it is claimed that the 32-year-old’s massive wages (around £175k-a-week according to Salary Sport) could represent a problem for the Hammers, but the East London outfit are still monitoring his situation nonetheless.
Walker has fallen well down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola at the Etihad and could be allowed to leave this summer, with Rico Lewis coming through the ranks.
Could West Ham really sign the 75-capped England international though?
West Ham eyeing bold Kyle Walker swoop
90 Min reckon that the Hammers could swoop win for the former Sheffield United and Tottenham right-back, with his future at the Etihad uncertain.
Now, Walker is an unbelievable player, and I really can’t see this one happening – let’s just get that out the way.
However, should he leave Man City this summer, West Ham should definitely be trying to sign him on a two-year deal, I just don’t think we’ll have any chance of tempting him into moving to the London Stadium.
Walker is one of the very best right-backs around. He has blistering pace, is incredibly strong in the tackle and contributes at both ends of the pitch.
The 32-year-old would obviously be a huge upgrade on Vladimir Coufal and Ben Johnson at West Ham, and I think he’d be a great signing for us on a two-year deal or something.
No need to get our hopes up though – this one clearly won’t happen this summer.
If Walker leaves Manchester City he’ll most likely join a club with Champions League football on offer. We shall see though, stranger things have happened in football!
