He would be one of the big signings of the summer. West Ham want to sign Filip Kostic from Eintracht Frankfurt. The English side are considering paying 15 million for a player whose contract expires in 2023 and who could leave next year for free.

Eintracht Frankfurt excelled last season with their brave and direct style of play in Europe. The German side won the Europa League and will be in the next edition of the Champions League.

One of the keys of the German team was Filip Kostic, a differential player on the wing and considered one of the best left wingers in Europe. He was on the list of the best dribblers of the 21-22. This was compiled by BeSoccer Pro after an exhaustive analysis.

The Serbian provided 14 assists and scored seven goals, figures that put him on 'top' teams' radar. One of them is West Ham, who will put 15 million euros to get him, an information that the journalist Nicolo Schira advanced.

In addition, the advantage for the English is that Kostic's contract expires in 2023 and he has not yet renewed his contract with Eintracht. In case he stays and does not sign an extension, he would leave for free next summer, when he is 30 years old. His current market value is around 20 million euros.
