West Ham United 'closing in on Sofiane Feghouli'

West Ham United have reportedly earmarked former Valencia winger Sofiane Feghouli as one of their main transfer targets this summer.

The 26-year-old is available on a free transfer having seen his contract at the Mestalla expire, bringing an end to his six-year stay with Los Che.

Feghouli final season at the Spanish outfit saw him suspended by the club for allegedly refusing to take part in training, and ESPN claims that the Premier League is now his most likely next destination.

The likes of Manchester United and Liverpool have previously been linked to the Algeria international, who scored for his country at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

However, West Ham are thought to be leading the race to sign him after the Hammers saw big-money moves for Alexandre Lacazette and Michy Batshuayi turned down.

Slaven Bilic's side have already delved into the free agent market once this summer, bringing in Norwegian midfielder Havard Nordtveit from Borussia Monchengladbach.
