Potter is looking to make two additions in midfield and is moving ahead with his plans after the broad outline of an agreement was reached for Edson \u00c1lvarez to join Fenerbah\u00e7e on loan. Talks are taking place between West Ham and the Turkish club regarding the final details of a deal for the Mexico international.<\/p>\n
Targeting the 21-year-old is a sign of West Ham\u2019s desire to add youth and energy to their squad. Magassa made 29 appearances in all competitions for Monaco last season, playing in the Champions League, and represented France\u2019s Under-21 side at this summer\u2019s European Championship.<\/p>\n
West Ham see Magassa as a filling a slot in defensive midfield. They want to add more power and need someone to set the tempo and control play from deep positions. Potter is also targeting a No 8 and has tried to sign Southampton\u2019s Mateus Fernandes.<\/p>\n
West Ham are also monitoring Rennes\u2019 Djaoui Ciss\u00e9, Werder Bremen\u2019s Romano Schmid, Feyernoord\u2019s Quinten Timber, Ajax\u2019s Kenneth Taylor, Torino\u2019s Ivan Ilic. The Lens midfielder Andy Diouf is expected to join Inter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
