According to Brentwood Gazette, West Ham are considering a shock transfer bid for Manchester United youngster James Wilson; whilst Mirror Football report that PSG are targeting Chelsea midfielder Willian.

The 20-year-old exploded onto the scene in 2014 with a debut brace against Hull City during Ryan Giggs’ short spell as interim manager. But there has been a worrying lack of progress since, going on to register just 19 appearances across all competitions – only two of which were starts in the Premier League.

Deemed surplus to requirements by Louis van Gaal, the England U21 now finds himself spending the remainder of the campaign in the Championship on loan at Brighton. But Wilson’s potential remains obvious and according to Brentwood Gazette, West Ham are keen to get their hands on the highly-rated poacher.

It’s claimed the Hammers are preparing a surprise £11million bid for the coming transfer window, hoping the incentive of greater first-team opportunities will lure him away from Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, Mirror Football claim PSG are becoming increasingly interested in acquiring the services of Chelsea midfielder Willian during the summer transfer window.

The Brazil international is a shoo-in for this season’s Player of the Year award at Stamford Bridge, as arguably the only member of the senior squad who can justifiably hold his head high amid a harrowing campaign. 

The French champions parted with Ezequiel Lavezzi, now of the Chinese Super League, last month and manager Laurent Blanc reportedly views Willian as an ideal replacement, sharing the Argentine’s mix of speed, trickery and tenacity.

Chelsea offered the 27-year-old a contract extension last month, but we’ve heard no update since and with his current deal set to expire in 2018, a sizable PSG bid during the summer transfer window could well oblige them to sell.
