Fyodor Smolov wants West Ham switch

Sky Sports is reporting that Krasnodar forward Fyodor Smolov is keen on joining West Ham United next summer.

The Russia star was on the verge of moving to London in January, but he ultimately decided to remain and help his side fight for Champions League positions.

However, while Marseille are also keen on his services, Smolov has decided to move to West Ham and he hopes the two clubs will agree on a transfer fee.

Krasnodar want between £10 million and £13 million for their star player, even though he only has another year left on his contract.

While notching 50 goals in 67 league outings for Krasnodar, Smolov also has 12 goals in 30 Russia caps and is the team’s number one striker at the moment.
