The latest on Moustapha Mbow after 'significant' West Ham offer as Paris FC future remains uncertain

Moustapha Mbow could yet join West Ham United this summer.

The Hammers are looking to add signings before the end of the window, with defensive recruits a possibility.

There's no guarantee that Max Kilman or Konstantinos Mavropanos will remain in E20, meaning another centre-back could be needed.

West Ham have been tracking Mbow this summer, with Nuno Espirito Santo keen on making more additions before the start of the Championship.

Though the Irons look unlikely to sign the 26-year-old before their league opener against Burnley on Sunday, transfers can still happen at unexpected times.

Mbow is a subject of interest this summer, and the latest update has dropped on the West Ham target.

The latest on Moustapha Mbow after West Ham offer

West Ham sent a "significant" offer to Paris FC for Mbow at the start of June, though noise of a move has gone quiet ever since.

The Hammers were said to be one of two other sides that sent an offer for the Senegal international.

The centre-back was said to be considering his future at the time of the reports, with Ipswich Town and clubs from Germany and France also interested.

However, an update from Africa Foot has reported that interest has been narrowed down to West Ham, Fulham, Crystal Palace and Hull City, in what looks to be an all-English battle.

It's said that the Irons have been on the case of the defender for "several weeks", with his leadership qualities clearly admired in E20.

Nuno's side could make a move soon for the player who has yet to decide on his future.

But how does Mbow match up against what West Ham already have?

It had been reported before West Ham's relegation that Mavropanos would leave the London Stadium this summer.

However, with just weeks remaining in the window, the Greek defender is still contracted to the Hammers, and the same goes for Kilman.

Although Mbow doesn't really compare to Mavropanos, it's night and day between him and Kilman.

The Paris FC captain had a 6.93 FotMob rating in Ligue 1 last season compared to Kilman's 6.36 score in the Premier League, as the former ranked higher for tackles, interceptions and accurate passes per 90 minutes.

Kilman started in West Ham's Carabao Cup win over Portsmouth, and may still need replacing this summer, especially if Mavropanos leaves.
