Hammers speak on link with Lyon wideman
The idea that we could possibly be interested in yet another wideman seemed quite ridicuous to us at ClaretandHugh but given that club president Jean-Michel Aulas is quoted as saying precisely that we thought it best to check it out.
According to L’Equipe Aulas said: “He wants me to talk to his advisers, and I will call them this week to break the deadlock. It would be great if we can reach an agreement, but we have received offers for him from West Ham.I know Rachid doesn’t want to leave Lyon so we have to find an agreement, as this situation is neither good for him nor for the club.”
But our top source inside The London Stadium categorically denied any bid for the player saying: “They will have their own reasons for putting out such a story but there has been no bid from West Ham United. I think most would agree we have enough wingers!”
