West Ham United to rival Queens Park Rangers for Mathieu Valbuena?

West Ham United join Queens Park Rangers in the race to sign France international Mathieu Valbuena from Marseille, according to a report.

West Ham United have reportedly joined Queens Park Rangers in the pursuit for Marseille midfielder Mathieu Valbuena.

The 29-year-old, who impressed during this summer's World Cup with France, has been linked with a move to Loftus Road this summer.

Valbuena, who has made it clear that he wishes to leave the Stade Velodrome, has turned down a move to Russian side Dynamo Moscow.

West Ham and QPR have now opened negotiations with Marseille over a potential £6.5m move to London, according to The Guardian.

Valbuena made 39 appearances for the Ligue 1 outfit last season.
