Focused on strengthening its squad ahead of the new season, Fenerbahçe has put a notable name from the Premier League on its agenda for a midfield reinforcement. The Yellow-Canaries have begun taking official steps for Mexican footballer Edson Álvarez, who plays for West Ham United.

Following head coach Jose Mourinho's report requesting a physically tough midfielder with strong defensive skills and playmaking ability, the Fenerbahçe management made initial contact with West Ham for the 27-year-old player. During the talks, discussions began regarding both the player's financial demands and the expectations of the English side.

According to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Fenerbahçe is not alone in this move. Two other European clubs, led by Edson Álvarez's former team Ajax, are also in the race for the player. The Mexican midfielder is evaluating incoming offers to make the best choice. Having not yet reached a final decision, the player is expected to take concrete steps regarding his future in the coming weeks.

Making 31 official appearances for West Ham last season, Álvarez stood out with his impactful presence on the pitch despite recording only one assist statistically. Taking on mostly defensive responsibilities, the Mexican player contributed to his team through his ability to break up opponent attacks, dominate duels, and distribute the ball.
