West Ham United are considering a move for Besiktas attacking midfielder Ernest Muci, according to Takvim.

The Hammers have been active in the transfer market this summer, but the addition of Muci could further strengthen their squad. The 23-year-old Albanian international has impressed since joining Besiktas from Legia Warsaw in January.

While Muci would provide depth and versatility to West Ham’s attacking options, the club may face competition from Aston Villa for his signature.

The Hammers have already spent significant funds on attacking reinforcements, and the pursuit of Muci may depend on their overall transfer budget.

West Ham’s focus has been on strengthening other areas of the squad, with defensive and midfield positions prioritized. However, the addition of Muci could offer additional attacking options and provide cover for key players.

As the transfer window draws to a close, West Ham will continue to assess their options and determine whether a move for Muci is a viable option.

Besiktas meanwhile, are keen to keep Muci on unless they receive an attracted offer. He is under contract until 2027 and has 12 international caps for Albania.
