According to Christian Falk, Union Berlin striker Sheraldo Becker has switched advisers in order to secure a desired Premier League move this summer, with West Ham United being the favorite to sign him. Becker had a fantastic season in the German Bundesliga, scoring 11 goals and making seven assists in 32 games, and the Daily Mail claimed on 15 May that the German club was expecting bids this summer.
The Hammers are interested in the player, who is also sought after by Burnley and Fulham, according to Sky Sports Germany. West Ham’s interest was also verified by Fabrizio Romano, who is about to close a significant deal. West Ham United is the “biggest prospect” for the 11-goal striker, according to Christian Falk of Sport BILD, who wrote in Romano’s CaughtOffside Substack column.
Union Berlin is reportedly demanding about €20 million (£17.1 million) to trade him. The striker has switched advisors in order to help close the deal on his move to England. Becker just had a successful season with Union in which he made 48 appearances and registered 12 goals along with 10 assists.
Hammers Eyeing On Antonio’s Potential Replacement By Signing Becker
There will be a significant reorganization at the London Stadium during the summer transfer window, with West Ham United now officially recognized as the European champions following their exciting and historic Europa Conference League victory against Fiorentina on Wednesday.
There may be enough money to spend because significant players like Declan Rice and Michail Antonio are anticipated to depart the East Londoners this summer. More than £100 million might be spent on the former’s move.
Given that West Ham United will undoubtedly miss Antonio’s presence in East London, a strong successor is required. Given Becker’s outstanding season thus far, this is the best option. Becker is similar to the Jamaican international in that he is incredibly quick, agile, strong, and a fantastic workhorse off the ball as well as an influential presence on the break, suggesting that the West Ham United faithful won’t miss Antonio too much too soon.
Becker also possesses the special qualities to score and create goals. The 28-year-old speed merchant is at an age when he should be striving to improve in his career, and there is no better platform to do so than in the Premier League. He looks to be ready for a transfer overseas.
Even better, the London Stadium may be the best venue for Irons games next season considering that they will compete in the Europa League.
