West Ham United And Harry Maguire Have Agreed On Personal Terms

In preparation for a prospective summer transfer to the London Stadium, West Ham United and Manchester United defender Harry Maguire have reached a personal agreement. According to Jacob Steinberg of The Guardian, Manchester United center defender Harry Maguire has officially accepted the contract offer from West Ham. However, the agreement is being delayed due to his compensation from the Red Devils.

David Moyes, the manager of the Hammers, is anxious to finalize the acquisition of a new center back before the summer transfer window shuts on September 1. Additionally, it appears that West Ham is gaining ground on the 57-cap England international. The 30-year-old should join the Hammers shortly, if Manchester United and Maguire can reach a deal about a severance payment.

I have no worries that the England international will succeed for the Claret and Blue because he fits Moyes’s style at the London Stadium brilliantly. With James Ward-Prowse now at the club, Harry Maguire may be a deadly weapon for West Ham from set pieces as well.

The seasoned defender has to restart his career urgently, especially if he wants to continue representing England. And moving to West Ham will provide him the opportunity to achieve just that. In my opinion, the sooner we finish this one, the better.

Hammers Have Begun Negotiations For Josh Brownhill

According to the Daily Express, West Ham United and Burnley’s top midfielder Josh Brownhill have begun negotiations. Due to ongoing rumors over Lucas Paqueta’s future, the publication has speculated that the Irons may add a third midfielder during this transfer window.

With Brownhill’s contract set to expire the next summer, it is said that Burnley may sell him this summer. This would provide West Ham a great deal. Other unidentified Premier League teams are also rumored to be interested, so David Moyes may need to act quickly to close a deal this month.

Since Vincent Kompany benched the midfielder against Manchester City in the Premier League opener, it seems conceivable that a transfer may be arranged. With Declan Rice and maybe Flynn Downes also departing, Paqueta’s departure would very surely provide another issue for Moyes, who is already experiencing an alarming rate of player arrivals and departures.

There may be one more player needed to make this midfield really competitive, leaving Edson Alvarez, James Ward-Prowse, and Tomas Soucek as the only remaining options. To be true, Brownhill has enjoyed more success in the Championship than the Premier League, but he has also had his moments. In a season with even more European activity, depth is crucial.

If this decision turns out to be a good deal, it may be a no-brainer as the Hammers now have enough cash to spend. However, Moyes will need to be shrewd since he may need to add a striker and even a defender, and this deal may be precisely that at a low cost. With discussions starting now, this is undoubtedly one to watch.


Lucas Paqueta Of West Ham United Is Expected To Leave The Club

According to Claret & Hugh, West Ham has informed Manchester City that it will require a price of £95.2 million to entice Lucas Paqueta away from the London Stadium. After United’s Saturday 1–1 draw with Bournemouth, in which Paqueta played the whole 90 minutes, Moyes acknowledged that any player is available if the appropriate offer is put out via, Evening Standard.

English and European champions City have already made an official offer for Paqueta, which the Daily Mail estimates to be in the neighborhood of £70 million. There have also been rumors that an upgraded offer worth more than £87 million has been made. On Sunday, Claret & Hugh stated that although discussions are allegedly underway and “both clubs are confident a deal can be done,” it would likely take much longer to sign Paqueta.

Given that Declan Rice recently left for Arsenal for £105 million, West Ham will naturally be hesitant to lose their two finest players in the same transfer window, but it is becoming more probable that will happen. The decision is ultimately up to the Irons, although Paqueta still has four years left on his current deal. If an offer of approximately £95 million were to come in, it would undoubtedly be too good to pass up.

Even with the addition of Edson Alvarez from Ajax and the rumored impending purchase of Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse [Sky Sports], West Ham would still require the addition of another player to replace Paqueta’s position. With the Brazilian among their ranks, West Ham are unquestionably a superior team, but they cannot afford to wait until the very end of the transfer window and risk missing out on a replacement.

David Moyes Is Close To Find A Replacement

Paul Nevin’s successor is almost ready, according to West Ham boss David Moyes. Along with Mark Warburton, the England coach and Hammers’ expert in set-pieces recently quit Moyes’ coaching staff. Nevin was a personal friend of David Moyes who left to become the head coach of RC Strasbourg in Ligue 1. The coaching structure of the club now has a huge gaping void that has yet to be filled.

Both Stuart Pearce and Alan Irvine have just left their coaching posts. Irvine is still working, although remotely, as an advisor in the North of England. Due to the several departures, Moyes has been searching for a new assistant.

After the 1-1 Premier League match with Bournemouth, Moyes announced that a hiring decision is imminent. The manager told the media in attendance that a fresh appointment will be announced shortly. “We’re meeting with a few people this week, and we hope to make a choice shortly”, according to Moyes.
