West Ham United have reignited interest in Club Brugge midfielder Raphael Onyedika following the departure of Edson Alvarez to Fenerbahce, according to Sky Sports Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri. West Ham have always wanted to bolster their options in the middle of the park at the London Stadium before the departure of the Mexican. His exit has left them with no choice and a concrete move for Onyedika could be on the cards after they were linked in June.

Juventus also want the 24-year-old Nigeria international, but he is keen on joining the Hammers instead. However, the chance to play in the Champions League this term could be appealing after Brugge secured a 3-1 victory in the first-leg of the play-offs against Rangers away from home. The West Ham target played 89 minutes last night against the Scottish Premiership club and the Belgian club are expected to get the job done next week in the second-leg.
He made 52 appearances across all competitions last term, weighing in with two goals and two assists.
