West Ham chasing deal for Joe Allen
West Ham are interested in a deal for Joe Allen, with Stoke looking likely to sell the midfielder after being relegated from the Premier League.
The Welshman, who was pivotal in Wales’ Euro 2016 campaign. Was relegated from the top flight after Paul Lambert was unable to keep the Potters in the top flight.
The Mirror report that Stoke are likely to begin a clearout after losing their Premier League status, and West Ham could be one of the teams picking up one of their stars.
New Stoke boss Gary Rowett has been tasked with a clearout by the clubs owners, after many high profile players failed to perform for the Potters.
Allen is one of those set to depart, along with goalkeepers Jack Butland, who has been linked with a move back to the top flight.
West Ham could be a new home for Allen, who joined Stoke from Liverpool in 2016.
