Tuanzebe is a player that should peak the interest of West Ham.

The report says the centre-half feels he deserves more chances. Also, there has already been interest from Premier League and overseas clubs.

West Ham should join race for Axel Tuanzebe

Tuanzebe has been spoken about in extremely high regard since coming through the Man United academy, but it feels like the best is yet to come from him.

He’s a centre-back by trade that unbelievable pace that can see him match most. Additionally, he can slot in at right-back if needed.

The youngster has done little wrong during 37 appearances for English giants Man United, but unfortunately they’ve come over a long period of time.

He also had a brilliant loan spell a few years ago in the Championship with Aston Villa.

West Ham boss David Moyes should try call in a favour at former employers Man United to bring Tuanzebe to the London Stadium.

It could turn out to be a brilliant deal for whoever gets him.
