West Ham keep close eye on PSG midfielder Gini Wijnaldum
West Ham are one of the clubs showing keen interest in Dutch midfielder Gini Wijnaldum, according to a report from TEAMtalk.
The highly experienced 31-year-old midfielder, who won the Premier League and the Champions League titles with Liverpool, is currently unhappy with his situation at Paris Saint-Germain.
He could consider leaving the club to move to the Premier League in the summer. Arsenal and Newcastle are keen, while AC Milan and Atletico Madrid have also shown an interest.
Experienced
Make no mistake, Wijnaldum is a class player.
He has got a wealth of Premier League experience, and in theory, should do well at the London club if he joins on a free transfer.
Wijnaldum was one of the key players for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. The Dutchman was involved in so many great matches for the Reds, including his brace against Barcelona in the Champions League.
However, despite several attempts to tie him down on a new deal, the Reds couldn’t manage to hold on to him. He moved to PSG instead.
The Dutchman has struggled to make an impact, and he has admitted recently that he is not completely happy due to lack of chances.
Wijnaldum would be a fantastic signing for the Hammers. With Mark Noble set to retire, Moyes will need an experienced figure in the dressing room who has got a winning mentality.
Known for his incredible energy and ball retention ability, he would be perfect alongside Declan Rice. His wages could be an issue, though.
In other West Ham news, Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui has earmarked a number of Irons players as “extraordinary” ahead of tonight’s showdown.
