West Ham United are poised to offer Burnley defender Maxime Esteve a chance to remain in the Premier League this summer, according to the Sunday People. The French defender’s loan spell at Turf Moor from Montpellier has been made permanent, despite Burnley’s relegation from the top flight.
Esteve, who is part of France’s squad for this summer’s Olympic games, has attracted interest from Everton, who view him as a potential replacement for Jarrad Branthwaite if he departs Goodison Park this summer. However, West Ham United are keen to add the 22-year-old to their squad at the London Stadium, with manager Julen Lopetegui eager to reinforce his backline following a poor defensive end to the season.Burnley are unlikely to deny Esteve the chance to move to a Premier League side if a big-money bid is made this summer.
