Salomon Kalou, who experienced some initial challenges upon arriving at Lille, eventually found his stride and emerged as the top scorer for LOSC, netting 14 goals in 28 matches after being repositioned in the center. The Ivorian international’s impressive performances have garnered interest, with West Ham manager Sam Allardyce expressing keen interest in acquiring him.
“Allardyce told Sky Sports, “From what I know, the president is currently talking with the player’s agent. I understand he wants to return to the Premier League, whether with us or another club, but we are looking closely at the situation. With his statistics at Chelsea, his record for goals in a season in France (14) as well as his age, he is very attractive for us.”
In addition to West Ham, West Brom is also reportedly putting pressure on the Lille player, indicating a competitive market for Salomon Kalou’s services.
