West Ham join Arsenal and Everton in race to sign France midfielder Steven N’Zonzi from Sevilla
Sevilla midfielder told club chiefs at the Spanish side that he wants a return to the Premier League three years after leaving Stoke
WEST HAM will look to continue their spending spree with the signing of Steven N'Zonzi, according to reports.
The Sevilla star has attracted the interest from both Arsenal and Everton after insisting he wants a return to the Premier League.
N'Zonzi, 29, left Stoke for La Liga in 2015 and his stock has continued to rise after winning the Europa League and breaking into the France national squad.
But now he feels he has unfinished business in the Premier League and the Hammers will look to bolster their midfield with the World Cup star, reports Le10Sport.
But they will need a fork out the £35million release clause which was added into his one-year contract extension signed in February.
Arsenal remain favourites to land N'Zonzi with new boss Unai Emery keen to reunite with the midfielder he signed for Sevilla.
