Tendayi Darikwa attracts interest from West Ham and other English topflight clubs

Zimbabwean defender Tendayi Darikwa has attracted interest from Premier League clubs with West Ham United the latest to join the race.

The 23-year-old has been in fine form for Burnley this season since his summer move from Chesterfield, scoring once in 21 appearances for the Clarets.

High-flying Leicester City have also expressed an interest in Darikwa while West Brom are also keeping tabs on the versatile right-back.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is keen to add a new right-back to his squad with Carl Jenkinson struggling for form at Upton Park this campaign.

This comes as top-flight clubs look to the lower leagues for hidden gems with the recent successes of Jamie Vardy and Dele Alli.
