West Ham linked with move for Danish international Yussuf Poulsen

West Ham are one of three Premier League clubs reportedly considering a move for Danish forward Yussuf Poulsen.

Calcio Mercato reports that West Ham, Everton and Newcastle are all interested in the player.

The 24-year-old is under contract with Leipzig until 2021 but is being tipped to leave the club in the near future.

Poulsen has played a key role in Leipzig’s rise through German football but has fallen out of favour of late.

With Leipzig continuing to establish themselves as one of the strongest sides in the Bundesliga, Poulsen was restricted to just 18 league starts last season.

The Danish international scored four goals and registered a further two assists throughout the previous campaign.

Poulsen impressed for Denmark during the World Cup, scoring in their opening game against Peru.

New West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini has enjoyed a busy summer of transfer business after taking over at the London Stadium and Poulsen could be the next name on that list.
