West Ham United reportedly want to sign Samir Nasri.

Antalyaspor's new transfer Samir Nasri poses for a photo during an exclusive interview in Antalya, Turkey on August 31, 2017.

Don Hutchison suggested on The Monday Night Club show on BBC Radio 5 Live on Monday evening (8:45pm, November 12, 2018) that West Ham United signing Samir Nasri could block the progress of Grady Diangana.

According to The Guardian, West Ham are interested in signing Nasri on a free transfer, but the Frenchman will have to prove his fitness.

The 31-year-old former Arsenal and Manchester City attacking midfielder, who has not played for months, is allowed to train with any club from this month, but he will not be able to sign for the Hammers until January, according to the report.

Former West Ham midfielder Hutchison believes that if Nasri moves to the London Stadium, then it could affect the progress being made by 20-year-old midfielder Diangana.

Meanwhile, former West Ham striker Ian Wright believes that Declan Rice is good enough to play for a top-four club in the Premier League.

The 19-year-old, who can operate as a central defender or as a defensive midfielder, is out of contract at West Ham at the end of the season.

Hutchison said on The Monday Night Club show on BBC Radio 5 Live on Monday evening (8:45pm, November 12, 2018): “My problem with it is it’s probably going to block the pathway of young Grady Diangana, who has been in sight for the last two or three weeks, and he looks phenomenal.”

Wright said about Rice on The Monday Night Club show on BBC Radio 5 Live on Monday evening (8:46pm, November 12, 2018): “You look at someone like Declan Rice, and I think he can go top four.”
