There is good news even if West Ham’s spectacular formal bid for the youthful attacker Jeremy Doku—who is ranked as the best young attacker in the world—was rejected. West Ham reportedly increased their reported interest in the great Jeremy Doku last night after their amazing 3-1 victory over Chelsea gave them confidence.
West Ham will make a strong effort to try and recruit Belgian sensation Doku, as we revealed on Friday morning. Understandably, West Ham supporters are quite dubious about any potential Doku transfer. After all, she is one of the fastest and most highly regarded attacking starlets in the world. Any prospects the Hammers had of acquiring the phenomenally gifted Rennes winger, 21, who is supposed to have Manchester City’s genuine attention and a rumoured worth of over £80 million, appear to be severely reduced.
West Ham has already squandered a large portion of the summer transfer window attempting to sign players they don’t want to and negotiate agreements with organizations who aren’t interested in selling. Therefore, supporters would understandably wonder why West Ham is wasting their time pursuing someone like Doku. However, it’s obvious that the Hammers believe they could be able to recruit the 21-year-old Rennes player.
Considering West Ham’s outstanding official offer for Doku, the young attacker ranked #1 in the world, was turned down, there is still good news. The shocking news regarding a spectacular player reached West Ham fans this morning. Fans will keep having second thoughts. But bringing a dynamic player like Doku to this resilient West Ham squad would give the group great cause for optimism.
West Ham’s Attempt To Sign An Attacker Falls Through
Elye Wahi, a target for West Ham, has agreed to join RC Lens for £25.7 million, according to reports cited by Football Insider. The 20-year-old center-forward was in David Moyes’ team’s sights, and negotiations with his club Montpellier were well along.
However, West Ham abandoned their plan to recruit Wahi as a result of the Lucas Paqueta betting scandal, which materially reduced their available spending money. The Hammers leadership has changed their strategy as a result of Paqueta’s own proposed transfer to Man City, which might have cost over £80 million. They were closing in on Wahi after his remarkable performance in Ligue 1 the previous season, which included 19 goals and four goals in 15 minutes during one game against Lyon.
More Sunday discussions suggest that West Ham’s £40 million offer for Mohammed Kudus from Ajax is getting closer to being approved. This summer, Kudus was supposed to move to Brighton, but nothing occurred. Chelsea was reportedly also thinking about him. Former Arsenal defender Konstantinos Mavropanos has also reached an agreement with the Hammers and Stuttgart.
The Stuttgart defender is interested in returning to London under David Moyes, but he has also had attention from Eintracht Frankfurt, Wolves, and Nottingham Forest this summer. The defender went to London over the weekend for a medical exam. Following the breakdown of negotiations for Manchester United defender Harry Maguire, West Ham have turned to the 25-year-old Greek international.
