Bundesliga side FC Koln are going to battle West Ham for Norwich City left-back Martin Olsson, Transfermarketweb reports.
They say that they Swedish star is being targeted by the German side, and would cost around £3.4 million. He currently has only one year left on his contract with Norwich.
Earlier in the week reports linked Olsson and his teammate Robbie Brady with a move to West Ham, after Aaron Cresswell was ruled out for around four months with an injury sustained in pre-season.
While Olsson would be a cheap option, which is understandably why Koln are interested in the Swede, Brady would cost West Ham £20 million this summer.
Olsson made the move to Norwich in 2013 after playing for Blackburn Rovers for six consecutive seasons. He has made over 100 appearances across all competitions for them, but during 2015/16 he only played in 26 games overall.
While FC Koln finished ninth in the Bundesliga last season, West Ham have the chance to qualify for the Europa League this year. The chance to play in the competition may entice Olsson to choose West Ham over a move to Germany.
