Liverpool, battle it out with Man Utd and West Ham to sign £10m rated Marseille star

 

A HOST of Premier League clubs are reportedly keeping tabs on Marseille winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou.

The 21-year-old, who has represented France at youth level, enjoyed a successful season at Marseille last term, scoring 11 goals as the club finished 13th in Ligue 1.

His performances have attracted interest from England, with

Liverpool , Manchester United and West Ham all interested in signing him, according to The reports.

The report claims West Ham are leading the race for N’Koudo and are weighing up a £10million bid.

Marseille are reluctant to sell their star man but with the club recently put up for sale they may have to settle on a lower transfer fee.

N’Koudo, who is yet to win a senior cap for France, is under contract until 2020.

All three clubs have scouted him on numerous occasions over the past few months as they look to add width to their side.

Slaven Bilic is keen to build a squad capable of competing in the Europa League, while Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinho both have money to spend this summer to help take their clubs back to the top.

The Hammers have also been heavily linked with N’Koudo’s team-mate Michy Batshuayi.

The Belgian is expected to leave the club in the summer and has spoken of his desire to play in the Premier League.

He told Sky Sports last month: “Everybody likes the Premier League. It has a lot of spectacle, a lot of goals and many good players. It is natural that every good player is attracted by that league.”
