West Ham are struggling to convince Paris Saint-Germain ace Thilo Kehrer to move to the London Stadium this summer.

That’s according to a report from Sports Germany who claim that the 25-year-old would prefer to remain in France rather than join the Hammers, as things stand.

This news is in direct contrast to the report from the Mirror that we covered earlier suggesting that West Ham are on the verge of signing Kehrer.

So we really don’t know what to believe!

The only thing we are certain about is the fact that David Moyes needs to bolster his centre-back ranks at the London Stadium…and fast.

West Ham face Kehrer disappointment

Sports Germany reckon that the Hammers face a real challenge to convince Kehrer to move to the London Stadium.

The defender allegedly would prefer to stay in France as things stand and that’s obviously a massive blow for West Ham, if true of course.

Kehrer is absolutely rapid and is one of Germany’s fastest players according to Sport Mob. When he was at Schalke, the Bundesliga’s official website described him as a potentially ‘world-class’ player.

He’s a three time league winner, having enjoyed great success at Parc des Princes.

The 25-year-old is an exceptional passer of the football as well.

In 27 Ligue 1 appearances for PSG last season, he made an average of 43.1 passes per match and recorded an incredibly successful completion rate of 94.7% (Who Scored).

Standing at 6ft 1in tall, Kehrer isn’t the tallest of centre-backs, but he possesses an incredible leap, similar to that of Manchester City defender Nathan Ake.

The German’s ability to play in a variety fo defensive positions will obviously appeal to David Moyes.

Kehrer currently earns around £78k-a-week at PSG (Salary Sport). That kind of salary certainly won’t break the wage structure at the London Stadium.

It seems as though West Ham face a tough task ahead if we are to sign Kehrer, however. And missing out on the German would be a real shame.
