West Ham United are among a number of clubs chasing a deal for Borussia Monchengladbach star Thorgan Hazard, according to French media outlet Foot Mercato.

Thorgan Hazard has been impressive for Bundesliga outfit Borussia Monchengladbach since joining on a permanent deal from Chelsea in 2015.

The 24-year-old is the younger brother of Chelsea star Eden Hazard and he followed his brother to Stamford Bridge in 2012.

However, the talented and skillful attacking midfielder failed to make a senior appearance for the Blues and after successful loan spells with Zulte Waregem (Belgium) and Borussia Monchengladbach (Germany), he left the club on a permanent basis.

The thrice-capped Belgium international has two years left to run on his current deal and West Ham are monitoring his situation.

Alongside French outfit Lyon and Premier League duo Stoke City and Leicester City, the Hammers could make a summer swoop to sign the versatile forward to bolster the attacking midfield options.

West Ham are looking to bring in another attacker to complement Manuel Lanzini and Michail Antonio in the attacking midfield ranks.

The Irons are also keen on the fact that Thorgan Hazard is capable of playing on either wing, as a central attacking midfielder or even as a central striker.
