Tottenham and West Ham are reportedly among the clubs interested in Paris Saint-Germain defender Layvin Kurzawa.

Foot Mercato reports that Spurs, West Ham and Manchester United have all opened talks with the player’s representatives.

It is understood that the 27-year-old no longer fits in with the plans at French giants PSG and his contract expires next summer, which means he could be snapped up on a free transfer.

The report explains that Italian pair AC Milan and Inter Milan are eyeing the the French full-back.

Kurzawa has played 12 games across all competitions this season, including one in the Champions League group stage where PSG have reached the last-16.

He is an attack-minded left-back that has won three consecutive Ligue 1 titles, but has been battling with teammate Julian Bernat for a starting position this season.

The full-back has incredible pace and trickery, but has never moved out of his homeland France before in his senior career.

TBR’s View:

With neither Danny Rose or Ben Davies pulling up any trees at Spurs in recent times, it looks like the North London club could do with reinforcements in the left-back area going into next season.

Kurzawa is an experienced full-back that has big-game experience from his time with PSG and it seems a no-brainer to try snap him up on a free.

Meanwhile, the rapid defender would certainly be an upgrade for Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham and it would be quite the coup if they win the race for his signature.
