Hammers linked with relegated winger

Stoke winger Xherdan Shaqiri has a €14m relegation release clause in his contract. That news has suggested that Shaqiri could be reunited with his old wing-mate Arnautovic at the London Stadium next season.

According to Calciomercato.com, Everton, West Ham and Crystal Palace all want to sign Shaqiri.

After Stoke’s draw witH West Ham Shaqiri told The Telegraph: “Everybody knows I’m a player who wants to play at the highest level, this is pretty normal. I have still got two years left on my contract with this club and first we have to see what happens here. I’m happy here at the moment and we will sit down after the season.”

The 26-year-old winger is said to have a contract worth £65,000 per week but a relegation clause of just £12.3m might prove to be a bargain of the summer. However, some have questioned whether Shaqiri is David Moyes type player and who is the West Ham manager come August may be just as important when it comes to a possible move for Shaqiri.
