West Ham go for Bournemouth midfielder Billing

West Ham United are showing real interest in Bournemouth star Philip Billing this summer.

The Hammers are desperate to add reinforcements to manager David Moyes' squad after losing Declan Rice.

The Danish midfielder Billing is the latest Rice replacement linked to the club, having impressed in the Premier League last term.

Per The Sun, West Ham believe he would be a more affordable target compared to Fulham's Joao Palhinha.

While the Portuguese was their first option, West Ham had a £45 million bid rejected for his signature.

Ajax star Edson Alvarez has also been linked to the London Stadium club in recent weeks.
