West Ham set to bid for Ballo-Toure

|

West Ham will join the bidding to sign Fode Ballo-Toure in the summer.

According to a report in The Sun the defender is in demand with Liverpool and Everton already interested in the Paris St Germain defender.

Ballo-Toure has yet to make his PSG debut but has impressed in the u-19 UEFA Youth League where he has been picked on by a number of scouts.

With his contract up in the summer only a token development fee is required provided that Ballo-Toure moves outside of France.

Slaven Bilic is looking to reshape his defence in the summer, building around former Southampton skipper Jose Forte.

Ballo-Toure can play at left-back or left-midfield and is enthusiastic about the prospect of moving to the Premier League in the summer.

First team prospects will be the most important aspect of any transfer with Bilic hoping to convince the 20-year-old that his prospects are best served by moving to the London Stadium.
