West Ham boost: Reports claim Pochettino could sell star for just £2m, Sarri also keen

Add as preferred source on Google

Reports from CalcioMercato report that Mauricio Pochettino’s PSG could sell Layvin Kurzawa for just £2million – with Lazio keen. Earlier this month, reports said West Ham wanted the France international in January.

Kurzawa, 29, has fallen down the pecking order at PSG. The signing of Nuno Mendes, along with Juan Bernat, makes 13-time France international Kurzawa third choice. But he has a contract at PSG until june 2024.

This season, the ex-Monaco man has only played once this season. In his five-and-a-half years at PSG, he has clocked up 153 appearances for the French giants – having a hand in 37 goals, scoring 14 himself.

Foot Mercato reported in December that West Ham want to sign Kurzawa. Arthur Masuaku has been in and out of the side, while Aaron Cresswell is often used as a left-sided centre-back. Now, CM hand the Hammers a boost.

They say that Lazio are also keen on Kurzawa. PSG are requesting a fee of £3.4million, but could be willing to go as low as £2million to get rid of the defender. It hands West Ham the chance to get him on the cheap.

The Hammers require depth. If the last few weeks have told West Ham anything, it is that playing in the Europa League – and progressing beyond Christmas, means David Moyes needs a bigger squad.

Yes, Kurzawa is renowned for being a hothead – but he is a player with enormous talent and at £2million, he is easily worth the risk. Lazio, or London? Surely, a move to English football might just tempt Kurzawa.
