West Ham have denied that Thilo Kehrer will sign a permanent deal with Monaco this winter.
Hammers deny permanent defender deal
ITK Fabrizio Romano claimed the the club has been closing in on a deal with the Ligue One for around £10 million but that is not the case.
Instead the Hammers are still talking with Monaco about a loan deal which they would hope to make permanent in the summer.
Kehrer has become know to be on his way this winter after failing to come up to expectations at the London Stadium and has mentioned himself in the past that a move coul;d be on although that was expected to be to German.
At one point there were up to 10 clubs showing an interest in the 27 year old despite him only making four Premier League appearances this season.
However, Monaco appear to have won the race for his services which will see him return to France after signing for the Irons from Paris St Germain.
Our source discussing Romano’s claim that the two clubs were closing on on a summer deal said: ” That is not the case. We are involved in ongoing discussions, but only as a loan that has every chance of being made permanent in the summer.”
