West Ham could help Hamed Traore revive his Premier League career this summer.
The Irons are looking to strengthen their squad once again, with a likely 15th-place finish in the Premier League this season.
With Lucas Paqueta still awaiting the outcome of his spot-fixing trial, which is now adjourned until the end of the season, Graham Potter will be looking to add depth to his midfield.
Now, West Ham have picked out Bournemouth’s Traore, who has revitalised his career with a loan spell away from the Premier League this season.

Traore will make a good addition to West Ham
The 25-year-old will bring experience to the London Stadium, having played for several clubs in Italy and England during his short career.
As well as Bournemouth, Traore has played for Napoli and Sassuolo, which has helped him to become even more complete in his game.
Whether as a rotational option or starter, his purposeful dribbling and excellent ball-carrying will be enough to challenge any opposition.
West Ham will want to end next season in a better position than the last, and the addition of Traore could bring them one step closer, with a summer of change ahead.
