West Ham offered Borussia Dortmund legend Marco Reus – sources
Pete O'Rourke
West Ham United are being offered the chance to sign Borussia Dortmund legend Marco Reus, sources have told Football Insider.
Reus, 34, is leaving the German giants at the end of the season after 12 years and has gained interest from clubs in the MLS and Turkey.
It is believed that his services will also be offered to Premier League sides, including the Hammers.
David Moyes’ side are in the market for new forwards next season and are expected to lose at least one of their three top attacking stars – Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus.
Reus penned a one-year extension to his Dortmund deal in April last year, meaning his current contract is set to expire at the end of the current season.
The 34-year-old graduated through Dortmund’s youth ranks before rejoining in 2012 from Borussia Monchengladbach.
He has since become a legend and captain for the club, and has racked up 167 goals and 128 assists across 415 appearances in all competitions.
Despite his age, he remains a key player for Dortmund scoring six goals and providing seven assists in all competitions this season.
While predominately an attacking midfielder, the German has played on both flanks for Dortmund this season and offers similar versatility to Paqueta and Kudus.

West Ham 'Admire' Marco Silva as Potential Moyes replacement
By Matt Smith
Fulham manager Marco Silva could emerge as a candidate to replace David Moyes at West Ham United.
West Ham manager David Moyes is set to be out of contract at the end of the season, and Fulham's Marco Silva could now emerge as a candidate to replace him, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.
It's been an overall comfortable season for the Hammers, but their form has taken a dip over the last few months. Moyes has managed to get a tune out of his players over the last few games, beating Brentford and Everton, but they hadn't won in the eight games previous to that.
Silva is admired alongside trio of managers
If West Ham opt to bring in a manager from within the Premier League, then Fulham's Silva could emerge as a candidate for the capital club, according to GMS sources. As it stands, Moyes is under pressure to turn things around and he's yet to sign a new deal despite the Scottish manager claiming he's been offered an extension.
Thomas Tuchel, who is set to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season, will also be explored by the Hammers. Alongside Silva and Tuchel, technical director Tim Steidten also admires Paulo Fonseca, who is currently in charge of Ligue 1 outfit Lille, and Feyenoord boss Arne Slot.
The Hammers appear to be casting their net wide in search of a potential replacement for Moyes.
