West Ham are reportedly still ‘on the spot’ in the pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain full-back Layvin Kurzawa.
The 29-year-old has been extensively indexed to the Hammers for some time as David Moyes goes in search of a suitable left-back cover for the evergreen Aaron Cresswell.
Despite recent links to Premier League rivals Chelsea, the East London club are believed to retain an ongoing interest.
That’s according to a report from Foot Mercato, as cited by Sport Witness on Twitter.

The report claims that West Ham are ‘always’ attentive to the 13-cap France ace but are ‘not necessarily at the top of the list’ in terms of suitors.
This season Kurzawa has made just one fleeting appearance for the Parisian club.

Valued at £8.1million and under contract in France until 2024 (Transfermarkt), Lazio, Inter Milan and Napoli are also believed to be keen on the capture.
Having amassed 248 career outings there is no doubt Kurzawa would be a ready-made addition to the West Ham squad.
Whilst the need for an understudy to Cresswell remains apparent, at 29 and without much room for growth, Moyes would be best served seeking alternative and perhaps younger options.
