West Ham 'contact Ajax over Edson Alvarez' as potential Declan Rice replacement... with Dutch club 'seeking £40million' for the midfielder

West Ham United have reportedly approached Ajax over a move for midfielder Edson Alvarez as a potential replacement for Declan Rice.

The Hammers captain is set to officially join Arsenal in the coming days, with David Moyes' side looking for replacements this summer.

Former Chelsea loanee Denis Zakaria has been linked with a move to the Irons, but it appears that there is a new name on the list now.

According to The Athletic, West Ham have made contact with Ajax over Edson Alvarez, with the Eredevisie side looking for between £35million and £45million.
