It has been reported that West Ham have long been interested in the 21-year-old, and that if the Hammers want to press ahead with their interest now, the they will have to cough up over £20 million.

Stats

The Norway international has also played six times in the Champions League this campaign, according to WhoScored.

Good signing for West Ham United?

Berge is a very good central midfielder who is still only 21 years of age, and he could be a brilliant player for West Ham in the long run.

Mark Noble is 32 years of age, and Berge would be a very good long-term replacement for him and would be a strong partner for Declan Rice in the middle of the park.
