West Ham interested in Thorgan Hazard

Numerous Premier League clubs including West Ham United are interested in luring Belgian youngster Thorgan Hazard to the English top flight, according to a report on HITC.

French news outlet FootMercato reported that Leicester City and West Ham were monitoring Hazard and were considering a move for the Borussia Monchengladbach attacker.

The Premier League clubs have been keeping tabs on the attacking midfielder for some time and his impressive form last season in the German Bundesliga has interested them in a move for the player.

Stoke City have also shown their interest in Hazard. The 24-year-old made 18 starts in the German Bundesliga last season and managed to get his name on the scoresheet six times as well as registering four assists.

Thorgan – brother of Chelsea star Eden, announced himself to the world when he scored in the UEFA Champions League last season. The former Chelsea star could be sold this summer by the German club as this could be the season where his value is at its highest as he has two years remaining on his current contract.

Hammers’ boss Slaven Bilic is keen to add firepower up front after a disappointing campaign in terms of goalscoring last season, and it seems that he believes Hazard is the man to add the spark to his forwards.
