Manchester United could cause West Ham United all sorts of problems in the summer transfer window.

West Ham and Manchester United are both thought to be plotting some big summer moves.

Manchester United have been linked with West Ham’s Jean-Clair Todibo, as Ruben Amorim plots a big squad overhaul.

Losing the Frenchman to Man United would be a bitter pill for Graham Potter to swallow, and now they could be set to deal us yet another blow.

Potter is planning a drastic squad overhaul at the London Stadium this summer.

One of his key targets could well be Old Trafford bound though…

Manchester United prioritise move to sign West Ham target Lorenzo Lucca

According to a report from The Sun, Manchester United have zeroed in on £25 million-rated Lorenzo Lucca, making the Udinese man their number one striker target this summer.

That will be a real problem for Potter, with West Ham said to be eyeing a move to sign Lucca this summer.

Potter has to get the signing of a top-class signing over the line before the start of next season.

And the 24-year-old would have been just the ticket.

He is tall and powerful, and has all of the attributes needed to succeed in the Premier League.

Lucca is a pretty good finisher as well, with 12 goals and two assists in 32 games to his name for Udinese this season (Transfermarkt).

First Todibo, then Lucca, now another West Ham target Man United bound?

The Hammers face a real uphill battle this summer, if we are to secure all of our targets.

And it is seemingly Man United who are causing us all the problems.

First, the Hammers could lose Todibo to the Red Devils, then they could beat us to the signing of Lorenzo Lucca.

And Man United want West Ham target Koni De Winter as well before the start of next season.

It could be a very long summer ahead for West Ham.
