West Ham could sign PSG left-back Layvin Kurzawa on transfer deadline day, according to footmercato.net.

The January Transfer window shuts at 23:00 on January 31st 2022, with the Hammers yet to bring in any signings.

However, that could all change with reports in France linking Kurzawa with a move to the London Stadium.

West Ham may be in desperate need of a striker and centre-back this window but a left-back is another position that needs addressing in the foreseeable future.

Aaron Cresswell is playing arguably his best football under David Moyes. However, he is getting older and more prone to injury. While the Scot simply cannot rely on Arthur Masuaku’s defensive ability week-in, week-out.

Given his talent and experience playing on the European stage, the 29-year-old would certainly fit the bill and would be a signing that would excite the Hammers faithful.

Kurzawa joined PSG from Monaco in 2015 in a deal worth £19m. He has amassed over 100 appearances for PSG, has 18 trophies to his name and is the only defender to score a Champions League hat-trick.

However, the Frenchman is seemingly out of favour at the Parisian club, having not played a single minute this season.

He has been linked with a move away from the French capital this window. Reports suggested that Chelsea were interested in acquiring his services after losing Ben Chillwell to a season-ending injury.

The Premier League seems to be Kurzawa’s next likely destination, with Newcastle also interested.

However, it is unknown whether the left-back is in favour of a move to either side.

The clock is ticking, meaning West Ham would have to move quickly if they are to complete a potential deal for Kurzawa.
