West Ham Make Bid For Gueye

West Ham have made an undisclosed offer to Lille for the signing of midfielder Idrissa Gueye, reports RMC.

Crystal Palace have also been linked with a move for the 25-year-old, with the report claiming that the Eagles have also made a similar offer, with both bids understood to be between €8-10m.

It wasn’t too long ago that the Senegalese international was set to join Southampton as a replacement for the outgoing Morgan Schneiderlin, but the Saints have since cooled their interest.

Marseille are also interested in purchasing Gueye from their fellow Ligue 1 club, and have made a €7m offer for the player as well.

However, it’s understood that Gueye, much like former Marseille star Dimitri Payet who’s now turning out in claret and blue, would favour a move to England and the Premier League due to the attractive financial packaged teams are able to put together in comparison to those in French football.
