Club Brugge are hiking up the price of winger Noa Lang with West Ham United joining Arsenal in the race for his signature.
Thats according to Voetbal België, who claim that Club Brugge are now anticipating a bidding war for Lang after his superb form.
Club Brugge want to deter bidders and are now setting the asking price at a huge €40million (£34million).
The report adds that West Ham United are battling Arsenal in the race to sign Lang in 2022.
AC MIlan and Borussia Monchengladbach are also thought to be keen on Lang, though that price tag could now be a problem.
Club Brugge even want to see Lang excel for the Netherlands, believing they can drag that asking price higher and higher.
West Ham rival Arsenal for Lang
Lang has been likened to Neymar according to agent Bart Baving, and was simply ridiculous last season with 17 goals and 11 assists.
The 22-year-old has bagged four goals and five assists in 17 outings this term, continuing to impress.
Lang does look like a real talent for the future, but West Ham being interested does seem like a surprise.
David Moyes already has Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma, Jarrod Bowen, Andriy Yarmolenko and Nikola Vlasic, who can all play out wide.
Splashing huge money on a winger would be a shock, even if Lang looks like a quality player.
