West Ham United are reportedly interested in Sassuolo winger Jeremie Boga.

According to Arena Napoli, the Hammers are in the race for the Ivorian forward, along with Everton and Napoli.

It is claimed Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has ‘great interest’ in the 23-year-old.

Sassuolo have apparently slapped a €30 million/£25 million asking price on the former Chelsea player as they brace for interest this month.

It is thought a summer move for the player would be more likely.

Boga has four goals and two assists from 18 appearances so far this term, and has netted seven times for the club since joining in July 2018.

TBR’s view – West Ham should steer clear

West Ham currently have enough options in the wide areas with Felipe Anderson, Michail Antonio, Robert Snodgrass, Pablo Fornals and Andriy Yarmolenko.

The Hammers don’t need to be looking to strengthen there, unless a player of real quality becomes available and there’s a chance of a value-for-money signing.

Boga is still quite raw and a £25 million asking price seems quite high.

Clearly Sassuolo are keen to avoid losing him, and West Ham should probably be seeking proven quality for that kind of money.
