# West Ham chasing Lille’s Mulcuit

West Ham United are set to battle it out against fellow Premier League side Fulham for the signature of Lille right-back Kevin Malcuit, according to France Football as reported by [Get French Football News](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2018/west-ham-fulham-looking-at-a-deal-for-lille-right-back-kevin-malcuit/).

Neither West Ham nor Fulham are reported to have made an official bid for the defender, but both are open to submitting a concrete offer to Lille for their player before the transfer deadline on August 9th.

Inter Milan and Celta Vigo have both held talks with Lille over a potential deal for the Malcuit, however it is believed that both teams only want to take Malcuit on a loan deal with the potential to buy, whereas Lille only want to let the French defender go if it is on a permanent deal.

West Ham could also face competition from Valencia and Napoli for the player’s signatures, though both of those teams are too yet to make a formal bid.
