West Ham set to rival Everton and Newcastle in Lopes pursuit

West Ham are said to be keen on a move for AS Monaco playmaker Rony Lopes before the summer transfer window closes, but interest in the 23-year-old is high.

According to Get French Football News, via L’Equipe, the Hammers are one of five sides keen on a move for the highly sought after Lopes, with Everton, Newcastle, Sevilla and Valencia all cited as having an interest.

The report suggests Lopes will be available for a fee in the region of €25million to €30million, with Monaco looking to offload the Portugal international amid the imminent signing of Toffees forward Henry Onyekuru. 

Lopes signed for the Ligue 1 side from Manchester City in a reported £10million move in 2015, and has impressed with 21 goals and 14 assists in his 81 appearances in all competitions.
