West Ham United striker Sebastian Haller eyeing French national team call-up

West Ham United spent £45 million on French striker Sebastian Haller during the summer transfer window, making him their club-record signing in the process.

The 25-year-old has hit the ground running in the English top-flight, scoring three league goals in as many appearances, and could prove to be a huge hit at the London Stadium.

Haller has represented France at under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19, under-20 and under-21 levels, featuring in 51 games and he is eyeing playing for Didier Deschamps’ side.

The West Ham star has never been called up to the senior team despite his impressive forms for FC Utrecht (51 goals in 98 games) and Eintracht Frankfurt (33 goals in 77 games), and he doesn’t feel it is possible at the moment.
