# West Ham interested in Benito Raman

West Ham are interested in a bargain deal to sign Benito Raman from cash-strapped Fortuna Dusseldorf, according to [reports](https://en.onefootball.com/west-ham-eyes-10-goal-fortuna-dusseldorf-winger-benito-raman/).

The forward has been in great form for Dusseldorf this season, registering ten goals and four assists in just 26 appearances.

Raman, who can play on either flank or as a striker, has helped his side settle well to life in the Bundesliga after their promotion last season.

They sit in 10th place in the German top-flight, a huge 16 points above the relegation places, so a second year of playing in the Bundesliga has been achieved.

However, Fortuna have some financial worries and as such, they might be forced to let 24-year-old Raman leave in order to raise funds.

The former Belgian U21 international has already stated that he has ambitions to play in the Premier League and has been linked with moves to both Burnley and Everton in the recent past.
