M’Baye Niang Linked with Loan Move to West Ham
M’Baye Niang, the young striker who recently returned from a loan spell at Montpellier, could be heading to England for another temporary move. The 19-year-old, who has struggled to make an impact at AC Milan, is reportedly a target for West Ham United, according to The Sun.
The Premier League club is keen on securing Niang’s services for the upcoming season and is expected to initiate talks with AC Milan soon. While Milan is reportedly asking for €3.5 million for the forward, West Ham is hoping to arrange another loan deal, similar to his recent spell in France.
Despite the interest from West Ham, there remains the possibility that Niang could stay at Montpellier for another season, depending on the negotiations. The young French striker, of Senegalese descent, will likely be looking for regular playing time to further his development, which might make a return to France appealing.
West Ham’s interest in Niang reflects their ongoing efforts to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.
