West Ham are reportedly the ‘only club’ to show an interest in signing Paris Saint-Germain full-back Layvin Kurzawa during the recently closed January window.
The Hammers have been extensively linked with the 29-year-old left-back for some time now and were tipped to make a move during the mid-season market.
No such swoop was forthcoming, however, as West Ham remained quiet despite seemingly having a free-run at the Frenchman.
According to a report from L’Equipe, as cited by Sport Witness on Twitter, the Irons were the only suitors in the frame.

The report claims that West Ham ‘showed interest’ in the 13-cap France ace before Kurzawa was offered to Ligue 1 clubs Bordeaux and Lille.
So far this season the man cast aside by Mauricio Pochettino has made just one appearance across all competitions.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Despite falling someway down the pecking order in the French capital, Kurzawa still holds a market value of £8.1million and a contract until 2024 (Transfermarkt).
Whilst it would appear the attack-minded full-back was available, perhaps the finances required to sign a player who would be an understudy to Aaron Cresswell put the Hammers off the deal.
Albeit a serial trophy winner, the lack of recent football would also be of concern to David Moyes as well as Kurzawa’s age.
