West Ham United and Leicester City are reportedly keen on Hakan Calhanoglu.
According to Fanatik, AC Milan playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu is wanted by both West Ham United and Leicester City ahead of the summer transfer window.
Calhanoglu, 25, emerged in Germany with Karlsruhe before making a 2013 switch to Hamburg, where he stayed just a year before heading on to Bayer Leverkusen.
The Turkish international hit 28 goals in 115 games for Leverkusen, enhancing his reputation as a set piece master before leaving for Milan in 2017.
After notching eight goals and 11 assists last season, Calhanoglu has grabbed two goals and nine assists this season whilst playing an important role under Gennaro Gattuso.
Now, reports in Calhanoglu’s native Turkey claim that Calhanoglu is attracting Premier League interest, with Leicester City and West Ham United believed to be keen.
A €30million (£26million) fee is mentioned, but a move from either side would lead to real questions given the players already at the respective teams.
Leicester not only have a top number 10 in James Maddison, but he’s also superb from set pieces, meaning a move for Calhanoglu would leave some worrying that he’d be a replacement for the ex-Norwich man.
West Ham have Felipe Anderson and Manuel Lanzini, so jamming Calhanoglu into the team would be difficult, and it’s hard to see exactly where he would fit in – but he may well be on the West Ham radar.
