In the upcoming summer transfer window, West Ham are reportedly close to signing Divock Origi from AC Milan for as cheap as €8 million (£6.9 million). A recent rumor indicated that we have started negotiations to bring the ex-Liverpool forward back to the Premier League.
The East London club has been extensively connected with a bid to recruit the player for quite some time. David Moyes, the manager of the Hammers, wants to add to his center-forward lineup this summer since both Gianluca Scamacca and Michail Antonio have been linked to leaving the club. And it appears like Moyes wants Origi to fill the position.
The 28-year-old attacker is reportedly on the verge of moving to the stadium in London for just £6.9 million following negotiations involving the Hammers and Milan, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. Look no further than his time with Liverpool to see how dedicated and quick he is. He also has a habit of scoring crucial goals in big matches.
Most West Ham supporters would have anticipated the arrival of a star striker this summer, and Origi most certainly isn’t that. The Belgian, though, is very talented and would undoubtedly give Moyes a whole new option across the front line. Even if Divock Origi won’t be the most thrilling acquisition for West Ham, Moyes cannot go wrong by paying merely £6.9 million to bring him to the London Stadium.
Roma In Talks With West Ham To Sign Scamacca
According to Filippo Biafora, Gianluca Scamacca of West Ham might be close to leaving the London Stadium as his representatives are negotiating a transfer to Roma. After failing to acquire Alvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid, a Serie A team has been in touch with the Hammers and the Italian forward’s representatives once more. It’s very obvious that the situation surrounding the potential departure of Scamacca won’t be resolved anytime soon and may continue for the upcoming weeks.
West Ham are in a really tough situation right now since they don’t want to let the forward leave, but he has expressed an interest to join Roma and isn’t exactly doing anything to put a stop to the rumors. The Serie A team appears to be very focused on signing him, and they must know that there is still a good chance of succeeding in their pursuit of him since else they wouldn’t be continuing their lengthy search.
The presence of Scamacca’s representatives might perhaps advance the issue a little since they might be able to discover some areas of agreement between the two parties to reach a compromise. The most important point for us is that, after spending an alleged £35.5 million to acquire him from Sassuolo last summer, we can’t let him go until a successor is found and we are paid a figure that fairly values the player.
