West Ham and Tottenham battle to sign 20-year-old Frenchman

Olympic Stadium

According to French Publication, Made in Foot, West Ham and Tottenham are two clubs who are eyeing a potential swoop for Paris-Saint Germain defender Fode Ballo-Toure.

Other clubs from England who are also interested in the defender include Liverpool, Everton, Bristol City, Aston Villa as well as French teams Lille, Rennes and Nice.

The highly rated 20-year-old is likely to leave PSG during the summer for free with his contract set to expire. With Layvin Kurzawa ahead of Ballo-Toure in the setup, he does not look to be part of the future plans of the French giants.

The Hammers began to take an interest in the youngster after his displays for PSG’s youth side as well as in this year’s edition of the UEFA Youth League.

In the end, the next destination of the player will likely be determined by who offers him regular game time and the best salary.
