West Ham have added Monaco's Youssouf Fofana to their list of summer midfield targets.

The Hammers are desperate to replace their departed former talisman Declan Rice.

With Rice joining Arsenal, West Ham need a new midfielder, but have been rebuffed in attempts to sign Fulham's Joao Palhinha.

Per The Mail, Manchester United's Scott McTominay, Southampton's James Ward-Prowse and Manchester City's Kalvin Phillips are other players on their radar.

Manager David Moyes wants to have a signing done in the coming weeks during preseason.

Juventus's Denis Zakaria and Ajax's Edson Alvarez are also possibilities for the London club.
