Report: Kostic competition

West Ham are facing competition to sign Filip Kostic from Eintracht Frankfurt, according to a new report.

The Hammers are continuing to work on a deal to sign the wing-back from the German club this summer, although they are aware that it may be an uphill battle to convince him to make the move, as he would need to give up Champions League football.

Alfredo Pedulla, the Italian journalist, now claims that there is interest in signing Kostic from Juventus.

The player’s agent is said to have made it clear to the Italian giants that he is available for transfer and they are now considering whether or not to table a bid.

Kostic is said to be keen on a potential move to the Serie A club, as he wants to continue playing Champions League football.

The Irons are not set to give up on their pursuit and still want to sign him as they look to bolster David Moyes’ squad.
