Hammers battling Manchester City for Rennes winger£41m offer for Ghana player falls short of Ajax’s valuation
West Ham have submitted a bid for the Rennes winger, Jérémy Doku, but they are struggling to agree a fee with Ajax for Mohammed Kudus.
The club are looking for attacking reinforcements and are trying to beat Manchester City to the signing of Doku. City see Doku, a 21-year-old Belgium international, as a replacement for Riyad Mahrez following the Algerian winger’s move to Saudi Arabia. West Ham hope they can tempt Doku, who is believed to have an asking price of £47m, by offering the youngster regular first-team football.
