West Ham United reportedly have an advantage in the race to sign Monaco ace Youssouf Fofana this summer.

According to a report from RMC Sport, West Ham are better placed than Inter Milan and Roma to sign Youssouf Fofana in the summer transfer window because the 24-year-old wants to move to the Premier League.

The East London outfit were first linked with a move to sign the France international yesterday afternoon.

Hammers manager David Moyes needs to sign an elite central midfielder in the the summer above all else.

West Ham reportedly have big advantage in the race to sign former pizza delivery boy Youssouf Fofana

RMC Sport claim that the Hammers are in pole position to sign the Monaco star ahead of Inter and Roma, because he wants to move to the Premier League rather than Serie A.

I think that Fofana would be a truly unbelievable signing for West Ham.

After being dropped from the France national academy in Clairefontain as a 15-year-old, Fofana incredibly worked as a pizza delivery boy between 2014 and 2017.

The fact that he has reached the very highest level in the game now is testament to his hard work, elite mentality and of course, undisputed talent.

The central midfield powerhouse possesses energy, athleticism, dynamism and strength in abundance. He’s built for Premier League football.

The 24-year-old has an incredible physique, but he’s not all about pace and power. The Frenchman is very good with the ball at his feet.

He is allegedly available for just £30 million this summer (L’Equipe). What an incredible deal that would be for West Ham. Hopefully Moyes and David Sullivan make it happen.
