West Ham and Watford Interested in German International Midfielder Ahead of January Window

West Ham and Watford have both joined the race to sign RB Leipzig's German midfielder Diego Demme.

The 26-year-old made has been valued at approximately £15m, with both the Hammers and Watford considering a move for the midfielder, who made his international debut for Germany last year and is currently under contract at Leipzig until 2021.

According to a report from CalcioMercato, the Hammers are keen to sign the versatile midfielder. West Ham are without Carlos Sanchez, Jack Wilshere and Manuel Lanzini in centre midfield through injuries. With a question mark over their fitness, Manuel Pellegrini will want some security in midfield, with Demme apparently high on his list of targets.
