West Ham have reportedly ‘entered the race’ to sign Paris Saint-Germain full-back Layvin Kurzawa this summer.
The Hammers are believed to be in the market for additional left-back cover for the evergreen Aaron Cresswell during this transfer window.
Recently, the 28-year-old has expressed a desire to leave the French capital and the Irons have joined a host of clubs in showing interest.
According to a report from RMC Sport, as cited by West Ham Xtra on Twitter, West Ham have made their admiration known.

Capped on 13 occasions by France, Kurzawa has amassed 248 appearances at senior club level.
Last season the marauding full-back made 28 outings across all competitions for the Parisian side.

Valued at £10.8million and under contract until 2024 in France (Transfermarkt), capturing the trophy-laden ace would for the previously mooted £6million would represent excellent value.
Predominantly a left-back, Kurzawa can also operate in a more advanced role – in a similar mould to Arthur Masuaku.
Although Cresswell has remained a constant performer for the Irons in recent years, the additional demands of Europa League football will stretch the 31-year-old to his limits.
