AC Milan will make an approach for Hammers midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate in the Summer, according to Italian football website Calciomercato.com
Kouyate who joined from Anderlecht last June for £7 million fee has made 17 appearances in a hammers with some comparing him to Patrick Viera. “I can see why Cheikhou Kouyate has already been likened to Patrick Vieira,” manager Sam Allardyce said after his debut.
His goal against Manchester United is already being tipped as goal of the month.
However Hammers fans should have little to worry about, Kouyate is contracted at West Ham until 2018, so there is little chance either West Ham or Kouyate would be interested in a swap to Serie A in the near future.
