West Ham United transfer twist emerges in £10m Etienne Kinkoue pursuit
West Ham and Nottingham Forest are among many clubs set to battle it out for Le Havre centre-back Etienne Kinkoue this summer, according to L’Equipe.
The French news outlet reported on 14 June that Le Havre are already in talks with a few clubs over his exit so a summer transfer is on the cards.
The Hammers were keen on signing him in the January transfer window as well and have now re-ignited their pursuit of the 22-year-old French defender valued at £10million, per the Sun.
Etienne Kinkoue will be a decent addition this summer for West Ham
Kinkoue’s potential move to the London Stadium could provide a much-needed boost to their defensive lineup.
With the Hammers looking to strengthen their squad after a challenging season, Kinkoue’s arrival could offer a fresh and promising option in central defence.
At 22 years old, Kinkoue represents a long-term investment for the club.
His age and potential for growth align with the club’s strategy of building a competitive team for the future.
Additionally, his experience in Ligue 1 and his training at Inter Milan indicate a solid foundation that the Irons could build upon.
