Bayern Munich fullback Noussair Mazraoui has been the subject of a move to Premier League side West Ham United and has even agreed to terms with the London club, but the move is pushing through as per Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal):
⚒️ EXCL | Noussair #Mazraoui deal with West Ham is OFF!

Manchester United, who has put on hold their pursuit of Mazraoui’s teammate Matthijs de Ligt, is now frontrunners to sign the former Ajax man. It remains to be seen if the Red Devils do push through for De Ligt. United are also looking at Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah in case they do not land De Ligt (who is their primary CB target).
