West Ham United interested in Leon Goretzka

West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka as a potential replacement for Declan Rice, as reported by Sky Sports Deutschland.

Manchester United are also showing interest in the German international, who has been a crucial player for the Bavarians since 2018 but lost his starting position under Thomas Tuchel last season, raising doubts about his future at the club.

Tuchel plans to pair Joshua Kimmich with Konrad Laimer, which could lead to a potential Goretzka sale. While the player is determined to stay at Bayern, West Ham United sees him as a top target to strengthen their midfield after Rice’s departure.

The Hammers’ recent attempts to sign players indicate their serious intentions to bolster the squad.
