West Ham plot £22M bid for versatile Champions League star

West Ham United are mentioned as one of the sides said to be interested in signing Germany international Robin Gosens.

That is according Sports Witness, who have relayed a report from Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, which claims that the Hammers remain interested in signing Gosens, despite signing a left-back in Emerson Palmieri in the summer.

Amidst his lack of game time at Inter Milan, the London Stadium is mentioned as a potential destination for the £22million asset.

Golden Gosens

Having made his fair share of appearances in the Champions League with 23, Gosens is a golden-coated asset that brings both experience and technical excellence from the left flank.

Primarily a left-back, he is capable as a progressive wing-back in a back-three/five system.

It was from an advanced wing-back position that saw him garner an incredible 11 goals and six assists in 32 Serie A appearances for Atalanta, following on from another prosperous season that saw him grab nine goals and eight assists just the season prior.

The 28-year-old understands what it means to be a progressive defender and the Hammers should capitalise on his current circumstances in order to secure a longer-term upgrade on 32-year-old Aaron Cresswell.
