Hammers put midfielder story straight
The club has been widely linked with the £8.5million player who it is claimed also interests Crystal Palace but we have been told the Selhurst Park club have the field to themselves.
We were told the only circumstances under which he – which is hugely unlikely anyway – could be entertained as a summer arrival would be were somebody to leave.
Central midfielders are simply not on the club’s agenda -a position totally confirmed this morning – when N’Diaye was dismissed as a potential arrival.
Our source said: There’s no interest – unless somebody were to leave – but were that to happen we’d sign a top replacement but as most know by now it is strikers and fast scoring wingers that we are looking for.”
