West Ham are being linked with a move to sign Tigres ace Jurgen Damm.
Jurgen Damm in action
According to Univision, West Ham United have submitted a bid to sign Mexican international winger Jurgen Damm, currently with Tigres.
The Hammers need to make a host of new signings this summer after a disappointing season, with manager Slaven Bilic already getting to work by signing right back Pablo Zabaleta on a free transfer.

Bilic needs to bring in new additions to boost a number of positions, and another winger could be on his wish list before the start of next season.
Dimitri Payet left the club in January, Gokhan Tore was a complete flop following his loan move from Besiktas, Sofiane Feghouli blew hot and cold this past season and Robert Snodgrass hasn’t lived up to expectations since his January switch from Hull.

Now, Univision in Mexico report that West Ham have submitted a bid to sign Tigres winger Jurgen Damm, with a €4.5million (£4million) bid believed to be on the table.
Damm, 24, joined Tigres from Pachuca in 2015, and he has long been hailed for his blistering pace, with Marca reporting in March 2015 that Damm was the second fastest dribbler in the world behind Gareth Bale.

Damm could bring that pace to the London Stadium, but they will face competition from Tigres’ Mexican rivals Chivas Guadalajara, with the six-cap Mexican international attracting major interest.
West Ham have limited success with Mexican players in the past having previously signed Pablo Barrera and Guillermo Franco, but they would be hoping for much better from Damm if they can manage to sign him.
