West Ham United want Hoffenheim midfielder?

West Ham United are reportedly preparing a move for Hoffenheim midfielder Steven Zuber this summer.

The 25-year-old has impressed with the Bundesliga outfit this season, scoring three goals and setting up two more in 15 league appearances to help his side mount a challenge for a Champions League place.

According to Estadio Deportivo, the Hammers are gearing up to make a bid this summer and are confident of landing his signature for £8.6m.

The newspaper adds that the Premier League side will face competition from two other European sides, however, with Serie A champions Juventus and La Liga high-flyers Sevilla also having shown an interest.

Zuber, who moved to Hoffenheim in 2014, signed a new deal in January keeping him at the club until 2020.
