West Ham and Everton are both keen on Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna, according to Le 10 Sport.

The 33-year-old right back’s contract is set to expire in the summer and there is as yet no sign of a new contract on the horizon.

The French international should be available on a free at the end of the season and would be a welcomed addition to both sides.

West Ham would likely be the keener suitor given their lack of options at right back, while Everton’s Seamus Coleman enjoys yet another impressive season in the position.

Both clubs, according to reports in the French publication, are monitoring his situation and hoping City do not offer a new contract.

The Premier League pair are particularly eager to strike a deal with Sagna after being alerted to his willingness to stay in England.

However, Sagna has also been offered the chance to return to France with former Hammer Dimitri Payet’s Marseille side looking to offer him a contract.
