West Ham are looking to ramp up their summer rebuild with an ambitious move for Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott. The London club are close to completing the signing of the Slavia Prague left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf and want to make further additions after boosting their budget with the £54.5m sale of Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham.
Kudus’s departure leaves room for West Ham to bring in an attacking midfielder and they have identified Elliott as a key target. The 22-year-old starred for England Under-21s during their triumphant European Championship campaign last month, scoring five goals in six games, and has suggested that he may consider his future at Liverpool because of his lack of regular starts.
