West Ham United are remarkable said to be leading the race to sign Jean Seri this summer.

According to a report on TuttoMercatoWeb, West Ham United are leading the race to sign Jean Seri from Nice this summer, in what would be a quite remarkable addition to their squad.

Seri has been linked with the likes of Barcelona, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur this summer – but West Ham are now believed to be winning the race.

The 26-year-old was one of the best midfielders in Ligue 1 last term, and if West Ham somehow convince him to sign on at the London Stadium it would be their most exciting addition for years.

Seri is a wonderful talent in possession. Able to beat a man through skill, or send a crafted through-ball to a teammate, he would immediately become one of the Premier League’s leading talents in his position.

The Ivorian is far superior to any central midfielder West Ham currently have in their squad, and would offer Manuel Pellegrini a huge injection of quality.

With Seri involved, West Ham would start to have the basis of a squad which would look seriously exciting for the years ahead.

And if West Ham do manage to keep ahead of the competition and sign Seri, it would have to go down as one of the best pieces of business of the summer.
