Three German clubs are interested in taking West Ham United midfielder Havard Nordtveit back to the Bundesliga.

The Norway international joined the Hammers from Borussia Monchengladbach only last summer, putting pen to paper on a five-year contract at the London Stadium.











Nordtveit through struggled to make an impact with Slaven Bilic's men and could well return to the happier hunting ground of the Bundesliga this summer.

Both Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg are also keen on Nordtveit, whose reputation in the Bundesliga remains intact following a five-year spell at Borussia-Park.

The Norwegian only managed eleven starts for West Ham throughout a season in which the Hammers failed to live up to expectations and had to cope with relegation worries for much of the campaign.
