Italian outlet Gazzetta Dello Sport claim that West Ham United man Thilo Kehrer has been mentioned at Inter Milan as a potential late signing – with Milan Skriniar confirming that he has just joined PSG, six months before his deal ends.
Kehrer, 26, only joined West Ham from PSG. He has since played 20 times in league and cup for the London side, but in the last few weeks, Kehrer has fallen out of the side. An unused sub in three of West Ham’s last four league games.
The Germany defender has failed to show why West Ham brought him to the club – even though he can play at right-back and in the middle of the defence. Craig Dawson has moved to Wolves from West Ham, a deal done last week.
Kehrer is not the only player on Inter’s shortlist to replace Skriniar. Manchester United’s Victor Lindelof and Chelsea’s Trevor Chalobah are also being considered. But German ace Kehrer has been mentioned to Inter in the ‘last few hours’.

Kehrer has been poor since his move to the Hammers. A good player, but not yet showing the form West Ham had expected when they brought him to the club. Perhaps, it is that the Premier League simply does not suit the German.
Or, it is that he needs time and like the rest of his West Ham teammates, they are simply underperforming this season. But David Moyes has clearly not been impressed and pulled him out of the starting XI. It might tempt him to join Inter.
Kehrer cost a fee of £10.1million plus add-ons and and if Inter use the £20million they received for Skriniar, you would expect a deal could be easily reached. The clock is ticking for Inter to bring in a replacement before Tuesday’s deadline.
