Stoke City midfielder Badou Ndiaye could be on the move again this summer.

Galatasaray sold Ndiaye to the Potters in January for £14 million but Turkish-Football learned that he had a relegation clause entered into his contract.

The Senegal international is considering his options and has plenty of options in England and abroad.

According to Galsenfoot, both West Ham and Arsenal are reported to be after him.

The Hammers interest was known beforehand but the Gunners link is a new development.

Per the source, Arsenal scouts kept tabs over Ndiaye over the second half of the season.

The report claims that the powerful midfielder is happy at Stoke but wants to remain in the Premier League if possible.

Turkish-Football understands that Besiktas are also in the race for Ndiaye.

Black Eagles president Fikret Orman will be in London tonight for several rounds of talks. Among them, Ndiaye’s representatives.

The 27-year-old is no stranger to Super Lig football, making a name for himself at Galatasaray before the Stoke move.

The Lions went onto lift the Super Lig title while the Potters ended up getting relegated.
