The Hammers on the trail of Pape Alioune Ndiaye

West Ham wants to recruit the giant Franco-Senegalese defender, Pape-Alioune Ndiaye, according to observers.

David Moyes interested



The 2.01m (6 ft 7") center-back is having a great season with Ukrainian first division club Vorskla Poltava. The 22-year-old giant has already been named the league's Team of the Week seven times this season.

And, Hammers boss David Moyes has stepped up his research on the defender, who he's been interested in since the start of the year.

Portuguese club SC Braga are also said to be on the track at Ndiaye.

The crazy price of Pope Alioune

Vorskla’s coach Yuriy Maksymov recently said his price was € 100m, or £ 89m.

And West Ham could now test the Ukrainians' willingness to hang on to the defender with an offer of £ 10million next month.
Moyes is keen to strengthen his baseline after their impressive start to the season.

An already rich career

Pape Alioune Ndiaye started his career with French club Valenciennes, alongside French defender from RB Leipzig, Dayot Upamecano.

The Senegalese went on to Italian clubs Bologna and Bari, and cut his teeth with Spaniards Lorca Deportiva before joining Poltava last year.
