West Ham United fans are keen to see the Stoke City winger brought to the London Stadium.
West Ham United fans have urged Manuel Pellegrini to make a move for Xherdan Shaqiri, after his latest comments.
Shaqiri has told Aargauer Zeitung that he will be leaving Stoke City this summer, following their relegation.
“It is no secret that I will leave (Stoke). I would love to stay in England. I think the league is perfect for me. It’s the best league with the best players but I do not want to exclude anything.”
The comments have alerted West Ham fans to Shaqiri’s availability, and there is now a growing number of supporters at the London Stadium who want the attacking midfielder brought in.
Some Hammers fans even feel he would be a better addition that Javier Pastore, who has also been heavily linked recently.
Shaqiri is reportedly available for £12 million (Stoke Sentinel), due to a clause in his contract.
West Ham are yet to make a signing since Manuel Pellegrini took charge, but are expected to be busy this summer.
The Hammers appear to have made signing an attacking midfielder one of their top priorities.
Shaqiri scored eight goals and claimed seven assists in the Premier League for Stoke this past season.
