# West Ham fear Levy will block Wanyama pursuit

West Ham United are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama this summer.

However, as reported on [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/revealed-west-ham-fear-levy-over-tottenham-player-pursuit/), the Hammers fear that the club’s strained relationship with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy could hinder their move for the defensive midfielder.

West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini is an admirer of Wanyama and he believes that he could be a key addition to his squad for next season.

Spurs are expected to listen to offers for Wanyama this summer, with the midfielder becoming prone to long-term injuries in recent seasons.

Levy is expected to be unwilling to let the player move to a direct London rival but the Hammers will have hope that they can strike a deal.

Wanyama has dropped down the midfield pecking order at Spurs, with Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko being the first choice options for manager Mauricio Pochettino.
