Sport1 are reporting that West Ham United are interested in signing Corentin Tolisso from Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.

The report has claimed that Tolisso has been talked about at West Ham, who are now considering a move for the 26-year-old midfielder.

Would Corentin Tolisso make West Ham better?

Tolisso has been on the books of Bayern since 2017 when he joined from Lyon.

The France international midfielder did well during his time at Lyon, but things have been tough for him at the German club.

Tolisso is not guaranteed a place in the starting line, but he has won the Bundesliga title four times and the Champions League once.

The 26-year-old made only seven starts and nine substitute appearances in the Bundesliga and played thrice in the Champions League for Bayern last season.

With West Ham playing in the Europa League this season, manager David Moyes could do with adding a new central midfielder to his team.

Tomas Soucek, Declan Rice and Mark Noble are the three senior options for Moyes in that particular department.

Tolisso may have failed to make a massive impact at Bayern, but he is rated very highly.

Bayern signed the midfielder in 2017 when Carlo Ancelotti was in charge of the German giants.

Bundesliga.com quoted then Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge as saying in June 2017: “We are very happy that we were able to sign this young and interesting player, despite strong competition from abroad. Corentin Tolisso was the dream player for our head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, in midfield.”
