Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma has emerged as West Ham’s latest transfer link, and he would be an excellent addition to the Hammers squad.
According to 90min, West Ham are keeping close tabs on Bissouma’s situation the south coast, despite Aston Villa seemingly showing the most interest in his signature so far.
Speculation grew on social media this week, after the 25-year-old central midfielder deleted all of his Brighton Instagram pictures and placed an ‘irons’ emoji next to his name.

In the past, Bissouma has attracted attention from some of the league’s biggest clubs, including Manchester City and Liverpool.
