Wolves are set to fight West Ham for the signature of Galatasaray defender Christian Luyindama this summer.

The Hammers have been linked with a €15m bid for the Congo international, but Belgian broadcasters RTBF report that the Molineux club have also joined the race.

Luyindama has made just 15 appearances for the Turkish side this season, with a knee injury keeping him sidelined for much of the campaign.

However, RTBF report that the 26-year-old is back training and will be ready to play if and when the Süper Lig resumes action after the coronavirus suspension.

Aston Villa were rumoured to be mulling a move for the centre-back in January but that deal never materialised.

With West Ham in relegation trouble and in a near perpetual state of disarray, Luyindama could well decide that Europa League challengers Wolves are a better bet.
