West Ham fans absolutely love the links to Jean Michael Seri, as a whopping 87 per cent of fans voted to hijack the Chelsea target.
Last week, reports claimed West Ham could rival Chelsea’s move for Seri, who will likely be sold for around £35m this summer.
The Nice midfielder, who has gone from strength to strength in the last two seasons, has been touted as Chelsea’s next big signing in midfield, with Cesc Fabregas starting to show his age and Tiemoue Bakayoko failing to impress.
Averaging over two key passes per game last season, Seri would help the Blues unlock teams that sit deep and welcome pressure, something they have struggled to do at times under Antonio Conte.
He also has excellent pace and ball carrying ability, which make him an excellent link between defence and attack for counter attacking teams like Chelsea.

Those very same traits will also appeal to West Ham though, who will need to add more creativity this summer to make up for the loss of Manuel Lanzini.
The report from last week claimed the Hammers have been scouting the 26 year-old, and those claims have since been backed up by one popular Hammers insider.
The Hammers’ faithful are clearly big fans of Seri, as nearly nine tenths voted to swoop in and steal the Chelsea target.
