West Ham And Spurs Set To Fight It Out For Bargain £10m Rated Ligue One Star

West Ham have been offered the chance to sign Marseille midfielder Maxime Lopez, according to the Daily Star. The newspaper claims that the 22-year-old will be available for just £10m this summer.

The Frenchman is close to entering the final year of his contract at the Stade Velodrome and the Ligue One side will consider selling him to prevent him from leaving for nothing at the end of next season.

Tottenham and Sevilla are also believed to be in the running for Lopez, but the Hammers are said to be keen with manager David Moyes looking to recruit young players who have room to develop.

The London club have previously been interested in another Marseille midfielder, Morgan Sanson, but it appears that they have switched attention to his teammate.



Lopez can play off the right-wing, but he does more often than not start as a central midfield player, having scored no goals and provided three assists in 27 games this campaign.
