Some West Ham fans aren’t happy with reports linking the Hammers with Jens Stryger Larsen.

According to Corriere dello Sport (print edition, 26/7/21, page 27), West Ham have approached the Denmark international.

Larsen plies his trade for Udinese and also impressed for his nation at Euro 2020.

The 30-year-old plays as a right-back or a right wing-back, but can also work on the left or at centre-back.

Larsen’s contract expires next summer, so this is the last chance Udinese realistically have of recouping a decent fee for him.

However, West Ham already have Vladimir Coufal, Ryan Fredericks and Ben Johnson at right-back.

Therefore, signing a player whose primary position is already well covered at the London Stadium seems odd.

In addition, Larsen wouldn’t have much in terms of future resale value.

Some West Ham fans have made their feelings known about the Hammers’ reported pursuit of Larsen on Twitter.
