TOP STORY: Musah could replace Rice at West Ham
West Ham United are lining up Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah should Declan Rice make the move to Arsenal, according to CBS Sports.
The 20-year-old United States international, who was vital to Valencia’s survival in LaLiga this season, is tipped to depart Spain this summer.
Musah has plenty of admirers from the Premier League, with Liverpool and Arsenal reportedly monitoring him in recent years, and Valencia have reportedly already rejected a €35 million offer from Chelsea in the midst of their relegation battle.
But as the Hammers captain Rice moves closer to a reported £100 million move to Arsenal, David Moyes has identified the box-to-box midfielder as an ideal replacement for the departing England international.
A move to east London would mark a return to England for Musah, who was part of the Gunner’s Hale End academy for seven years. He even represented the country at youth level before committing international allegiance to the USMNT.
