Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham United and Arsenal have been linked with Stoke City midfielder Badou Ndiaye.
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City were linked with Badou Ndiaye earlier this month, and now West Ham United and Arsenal are reported to be interested in the Stoke City midfielder.
Earlier this month, Sporx.com reported that Wolves and Leicester want Ndiaye (click here to read more), and a new report in Galsen Foot has claimed that London duo West Ham and Arsenal are interested in the Senegal international star.
Turkish giants Besiktas and Galatasaray are also claimed to be interested in Ndiaye, who cost Stoke £14 million in transfer fees when they signed him from Galatasaray in January 2018, as reported by BBC Sport.
Cheikhou Kouyate replacement?
According to Galsen Foot, West Ham are looking at Ndiaye as a replacement for Cheikhou Kouyate, who is reported to be leaving the London Stadium this summer.
The 28-year-old, who can operate as a midfielder or as a defender, did not have a great 2017-18 campaign.
The Senegal international, who has been on the books of the Hammers since the summer of 2014, earns £30,000 per week as salary, according to The Daily Star.
Previous West Ham United interest
West Ham wanted to sign Ndiaye from Galatasaray in the summer transfer window, according to Teledakar.
Ndiaye was quoted as saying by Teledakar that he choose Stoke over West Ham as he was more attracted to the project at the Potters.
