Christian Kouame has had a dream Serie A season for Genoa and could reportedly be on his way to the Premier League with Everton or West Ham United.
Everton and West Ham United are both willing to meet Genoa’s £25 million price tag for prize asset Christian Kouame, according to Calciomercato.
The Serie A outfit lost their top scorer Krzystof Piatek to AC Milan in January, and it seems that Kouame is likely to follow the Polish international out of the Stadio Luigi Ferraris when the transfer window opens again in the summer.
The 21-year-old Ivorian only joined from lower league Cittadella in 2018, but he has attracted plenty of suitors after scoring four goals and providing six assists in his first ever Serie A campaign.
According to Calciomercato, Everton and West Ham want to bring Kouame to the Premier League and would have no qualms about paying the £25 million fee demanded by Genoa president Enrico Preziosi.
Napoli and AC Milan are also allegedly interested in a forward who can play anywhere across the front line but has often featured in the centre of Genoa’s attack this season.
Calciomercato claimed earlier this year that Crystal Palace were considering a big-money bid for Kouame but it is interesting to note that they have been left out of this latest report.
