Hoffenheim intends to acquire midfielder and Miner Taras Stepanenko.

One of the priorities for Hoffenheim during the winter transfer window is the midfielder of the national team of Ukraine Taras Stepanenko - informs ESPN.

To one of the leaders of Shakhtar and the Ukrainian national team, several clubs of the Premier League and the Bundesliga. And if others just looked closely at the 28-year-old midfielder, then West Ham even announced the amount with which he is ready to part - 8 million euros. But only the main "lobbyist" of this transfer was Slaven Bilic, who, alas, has already been dismissed from the post of head coach of the "hammers". But his successor David Moyes, who received a solid amount to work in the winter transfer market, has other priorities ... But interest in Stepanenko in Europe has not disappeared: already in January, an experienced opornik wants to get Hoffenheim, fighting for a place in the zone of the Champions League (after the twelfth tour takes the sixth place, behind the second Schalke going to only three points).
