West Ham have already been linked with a £20 million move for the 21-year-old Blues defender.
Aaron Cresswell looks likely to leave this summer, so Hammers boss David Moyes will be desperate to sign a top-class left back with plenty of pace and youth on his side.
And it seems as though the Scot has a great chance to bring in a big upgrade on the 33-year-old Hammers stalwart…
West Ham have just been given a huge Ian Maatsen boost
The Guardian reckon that the Hammers have received news that the 21-year-old Chelsea ace would be keen to move to the London Stadium this summer.
That really is very good news indeed.
Maatsen has pace and power in abundance, and he really impressed during a loan spell with Burnley last season.
The youngster bagged four goals and six assists in 39 Championship outings for the Clarets (Who Scored).
Described as an ‘absolutely rapid’ left-back by Talk Chelsea, Maatsen seems to be exactly the kind of player we need at West Ham.
For just £20 million, West Ham really can’t go wrong by signing Ian Maatsen this summer.
He would be a huge upgrade on Aaron Cresswell, that’s for sure. And the 21-year-old would provide really solid competition for Emerson Palmieri as well.
