West Ham United have been linked with Nicolai Muller through reports in Germany.
Muller has just months remaining on his contract, and it seems that he is set to become a free agent in the summer.
West Ham are believed to be interested in the attacker, and can enter discussions over moving him to the London Stadium.
However, West ham should avoid any temptation to bring in Muller, as they need better.
The German has been out for the entire season with a cruciate ligament injury, and there is no guarantees that he will come back at the same level he was before suffering that problem.
Muller is also 30, so even signing him on a free would have to be considered a risk for West Ham.
The Hammers have had a tendency to buy players past their peaks in recent times – with Joe Hart and Pablo Zabaleta two examples of big names players, who haven’t lived up to their reputations with the Hammers.
And West Ham should avoid moving for Muller this summer, even if he is available on a free transfer.
