West Ham could sign a former world-class playmaker on a free transfer.

With another huge rebuild needed this Summer, and limited budget to do it with, West Ham will be looking at the free transfer market to bring in some players.

Although this does present limited options, you do get some gems every now and then.

According to reports, West Ham will attempt to sign Marco Verratti for free when his contract in Qatar expires.

The former PSG man was once one of the finest playmakers in the world, however at 32-years-old, is he really the sort of player we need? Graham Potter has already told the board that he no longer wishes to sign older players, but with the ability Verratti has it may be too tempting of an opportunity.
