West Ham are considering replacing Lucas Paqueta with Charles De Ketelaere, Atalanta's young Belgian international. Despite De Ketelaere recently signing a contract extension, the Premier League's allure may attract him. West Ham faces competition from other clubs, including Liverpool, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Newcastle United, Manchester City, and Arsenal, who are keeping an eye on the situation.

Charles De Ketelaere, currently playing for Atalanta, is being eyed by West Ham as a top priority should Mohammed Kudus or Lucas Paqueta extend their contracts.

West Ham plan to check on the situation of Atalanta’s young Belgian player Charles De Ketelaere over the coming weeks. The player is valued at around the £40m mark, with sources noting that the Hammers could make a move for the player as early as the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old Belgian Charles De Ketelaere is also courting interest from West Ham United, along with Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. De Ketelaere has returned to form following a tough spell with AC Milan, having played a key role for Atalanta in recent months.
