West Ham United make €8m offer for Rachid Ghezzal

Premier League side West Ham United have made an €8m excluding bonuses offer for Lyon attacking midfielder Rachid Ghezzal, according to L’Équipe.

The offer was made officially to Lyon this afternoon, according to the report.

The player’s current contract expires at the end of the 2016/17 campaign. He has been involved in complex and drawn out extension negotiations which has seen him reject several offers from Lyon.

His current desire is to remain at Lyon if an agreement is found.

Lyon, should no progress be made this week in terms of reaching a deal over a contract extension, will give him the option to accept or reject West Ham’s proposal.
