Report claims West Ham aren’t interested in defender Koutris

West Ham aren’t interested in signing Olympiacos left-back Leonardo Koutris this summer, according to reports.

The Hammers had been linked with the Greek full-back, along with fellow Premier League rivals Everton, with reports claiming Manuel Pellegrini was keen on bringing a left-sided defender to the club in the summer.

However, according to Greek media outlet SportDog.Gr, as cited by Sport Witness, this looks unlikely.

The Greek source claim that West Ham sporting director Mario Husillos, who previously worked for Olympiacos in Greece during the 2016/17 season, has other priorities he will focus on during the next transfer window.

With Aaron Cresswell and Arthur Masuaku already at London Stadium, Husillos is unlikely to target further reinforcements in that position, given that the club are currently well stocked.

Genoa are also said to be interested in the defender, who is best known from a viral video involving a stretcher in October 2015, with reports claiming a bid from a Serie A side has been submitted.
