Hammers linked with relegated winger

Media reports in The Guardian today claim West Ham are one of three Premier League clubs interested in signing Norwich City’s England Under-21 international Nathan Redmond, who is set to leave Carrow Road this summer following relegation.

Redmond, who was a £3.2m signing from Birmingham City in 2013, has featured in all but three of Norwich’s top-flight fixtures this season and scored his sixth league goal of term during Wednesday’s 4-2 defeat of Watford which still failed to keep the Canaries up.

The 22-year-old, whose contract expires in 2017, is expected to depart, with West Ham, Stoke and Crystal Palace all said to be in pursuit of the winger, who could command a fee between £8m and £10m.
