# West Ham join chase for Andreas Samaris

West Ham have reportedly joined several other sides in the chase for Greek midfielder Andreas Samaris.

According to Record, via [Sports Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/portugal-west-ham-wolves-join-newcastle-race-midfielder/), the Hammers have joined Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United in the chase for Samaris, who is likely to leave Benfica with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.

Dinamo Kiev are also reportedly in talks over a potential move for Samaris, with the player willing to listen over a potential move to Ukraine with Dinamo.

However, the Premier League sides have the edge in a potential move, with the English sides able to offer higher wages for the midfielder.

The player could still stay at Benfica, but with the Premier League interest in the midfielder, he could yet make the move to the Premier League

Samaris has previously said that he would like to stay in Portugal with Benfica, and that he hasn’t closed the doors on staying.
