West Ham are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso this summer.
The Hammers are keeping tabs on the situation surrounding the Frenchman as the ace who turns 27 today (August 3) ‘fights’ for a future at the Allianz Arena.
In the final 12 months of a contract in Munich, Tolisso could be sold during this transfer window as Juventus also show an interest.
According to a report from German outlet Sport1, as cited by Lukasz Papuda on Twitter, the Irons are weighing up a move.

Capped on 27 occasions by France, Tolisso was a part of the squad that lifted the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and played 17 minutes in the showpiece final.
A serious knee injury in September 2018 has setback the career of the ace and further setbacks meant only 24 appearances were possible across all competitions during the 2020/21 campaign.

David Moyes will certainly want to bring in midfield cover for Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice as club captain Mark Noble moves ever closer to retirement.
Once compared to German star Toni Kroos, there’s little doubting the £18million valued man’s ability.
However, despite possessing obvious quality and a bulging trophy cabinet, now regular injury layoffs would surely make any move too high risk.
Perhaps as a free transfer next summer, signing Tolisso may be a worthwhile gamble, but unfortunately not with a fee involved.
