# Long-term West Ham target Karamoh set for Saint-Etienne switch

Having been perennially [linked](https://readwestham.com/2018/06/29/west-ham-consider-move-for-yann-karamoh/) with a move to West Ham, Inter Milan youngster Yann Karamoh looks set to complete a loan switch to Saint-Etienne.

The promising attacker has been [touted](https://readwestham.com/2017/06/29/hammers-eye-french-forward-karamoh/) with a transfer to the Hammers for some time now but it seems he will be making a return to his homeland of France for the season ahead.

Karamoh has struggled to nail down a regular first-team place at Inter under Luciano Spalletti. This appears to have prompted the former Caen star to seek pastures new, at least on a temporary basis.

The 20-year-old, who can play on the wing and in a central role, has agreed to make the move to Saint-Etienne according to Tutto Mercato (via [Inside Futbol](https://www.insidefutbol.com/2018/08/30/west-ham-linked-yann-karamoh-says-yes-to-ligue-1-loan/388354/)) and will hope to revitalise himself in Ligue 1.

Karamoh is believed to be set to undergo a medical with Saint-Etienne as he looks to once again prove his worth to Inter and perhaps other potential suitors, including West Ham.
