Manchester City defender Nathan Ake is keen on a move to West Ham United despite PIF being keen on signing him for Newcastle United, according to Eurosport.
Eurosport have reported that West Ham are interested in signing Ake from Premier League rivals Manchester City in the January transfer window.
The defender himself is keen on the prospect of a move to West Ham.
Newcastle’s owners, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), want to sign Ake and reunite him with his former Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe.
West Ham over Newcastle for Nathan Ake
In our opinion, West Ham are a better option than Newcastle for Ake.
For the time being anyway.
Yes, Newcastle now have the richest owners in club football, but the team are in trouble on the pitch.
There is still a strong possibility that Newcastle could get relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season.
West Ham are doing well in the Premier League and are also playing in the Europa League.
The Hammers could end up in the Champions League next season.
So, we think that at the moment West Ham are a better option than Newcastle for Ake.w
