Hammers linked to former Liverpool midfielder
The story comes courtesy of the Daily Telegraph and looks way off the pace if we are brutally honest although the report claims that Watford are also interested in the Stoke player.
It would be a disappointment if Manuel Pellegrini and Mario Husillos were to have targeted a player who, despite helping the Potters away from the Championship relegation zone, has himself experienced a mixed campaign.
City have endured a deeply disappointing season and whilst making his contribution, Allen has hardly been one of the Championship’s star operators.
He has made 43 appearances this campaign and has always been recognised as a creative individual but it would certainly seem his best years are behind him.
The Welshman had a four year spell at Liverpool where he made 60 appearances between 2012-2016 before moving onto Stoke where has seen action in 114 games for 14 goals.
