West Ham are reportedly keen on signing Ajax midfielder, Edson Alvarez, as Borussia Dortmund have ended their interest in the Mexico international.
The Hammers are reportedly reigniting their interest in Alvarez, after the 25-year-old looked set to join Borussia Dortmund. However, despite agreeing personal terms neither club could agree on a fee and talks failed to progress.
David Moyes will be looking to strengthen his side after winning the Europa Conference League, which will see the side from east London compete in the Europa League next season.
European form was not an issue for the Scottish manager, as his side remained unbeaten during their run to the trophy. However, Premier League performances were far from this and finishing 15th may cause some concern for West Ham supporters.
As well as expecting a host of additions, key players are set to depart this summer with Declan Rice expected to join Arsenal for a staggering £105m.
Seeing the England international leave may increase the club’s desire for a holding midfielder and according reports, the Ajax star would be top of Moyes’ list.

Alvarez has attracted heavy interest during his time in Holland, making 147 appearances for Ajax and picking up a host of accolades.
Winning two league titles and the Dutch Cup, the former CF America midfielder is regarded as one of the best midfielders in Europe and could be on the move this summer.
The Mexican midfielder still has two-years remaining on his current deal, however, Ajax are believed to be prepared to sell Alvarez for around £40m, as well as £5m in add-ons.
Chelsea made an approach for the 25-year-old last summer, but were stopped in their tracks when the Eredivisie side rejected their bid.
