West Ham are weighing up a surprise move for ex-Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante, who currently plays for Al-Ittihad.

That’s according to Sky Sports, who are reporting the Hammers are keen on bringing Kante back to the Premier League.

They are currently deciding whether to submit a formal bid, with a deal likely to cost around £20m.

It is said that wages could prove difficult, though, with Kante tied down to Al-Ittihad for another two years on a reported £86.2m per season.
