So the Hammers will need to act fast if they want to sign the 26-year-old centre-back.
According to a report from Turkish media outlet Takvim, David Moyes wants to bring the 6ft 3in Democratic Republic of Congo international to the london Stadium this summer.
And it was claimed at the time that West Ham would face competition from Aston Villa and Everton.
Now Fotomac claims that Villa are preparing an £11 million bid for the Galatasaray centre-back.
Stats
In 10 league outings for Gala this season, Luyindama 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).
The 26-year-old has been described as a player with the ‘heart of a warrior’ by Galatasaray chairman Mustafa Cengiz (galatasaray.org).
The Congolese ace is clearly a top class defender. And Dean Smith and David Moyes will surely be keen to have someone like Luyindama amongst their ranks next season.
And if Aston Villa are indeed ready to bid £11 million for the Gala ace, West Ham must be prepared to match that offer.
He will surely prove to be an excellent addition for whichever club wins the race for his signature.
