West Ham and Liverpool set to battle to sign forward

West Ham and Liverpool set to battle to sign forward

Reports in Italy are suggesting that West Ham and Liverpool have sent representatives to Milan to discuss a deal to bring M’Baye Niang to the London Stadium.

AC Milan had reportedly agreed terms with Genoa to send the 22-year-old out on a six-month loan but he is apparently holding out on agreeing to join them as he looks to complete a permanent transfer to the Premier League.

The Frenchman will not be in the Milan squad for their Coppa Italia quarter-final against Juventus, as he considers his options so it looks like a move is definitely on the cards.

According to the reports, Milan, if they choose to sell the forward, will look for €18million, which West Ham will easily be able to afford, especially if they sell Dimitri Payet as is expected.

Niang is comfortable playing on either flank or as a central striker, although he’s played predominantly on the left-wing for Milan this season.
