According to Fussballeck, West Ham United are interested in signing Shinji Kagawa from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, and he would have to be seen as a quality addition.

Kagawa may have had difficult on his first spell in English football, at Manchester United, but he remains a fine talent.

Shinji Kagawa of Japan celebrates scoring the opening goal during the 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifier match between Japan and Thailand at Saitama Stadium on March 28, 2017 in Saitama, Japan.

The Japanese attacking midfielder has six goals and seven assists in 26 appearances for Dortmund this term, and his quality could enhance the threat of West Ham’s attack signifcantly.

If David Moyes’ side could line-up with Marko Arnautovic, Manuel Lanzini and Kagawa in the same team next term, they could no longer complain at a lack of creativity or flair.

West Ham have been overly reliant on Arnatuovic this term, but Kagawa’s arrival would take the weight off his shoulders.

And if West Ham can do a deal for Kagawa it would show the genuine ambition in the transfer market, that the London Stadium crowd have been calling for.
