A shocking rumour that originated in Serbia claims that West Ham United has signed Juventus wingback Filip Kostic. The Belgrade store Sportska Central has also reported that West Ham has acquired Filip Kostic from Juventus.
It would appear that the Hammers manager, David Moyes, has been successful in his pursuit of the target. A local newspaper in Serbia claims that everything has already been decided for certain. According to Sportska Centrala, it seems as though Kostic has already agreed to terms with the Hammers.
If what you say is accurate, then West Ham is treating this matter very seriously. Emerson Palmieri will have a formidable adversary in the form of the left wing-back, who is 30 years old and a terrific player. Because he can also play higher up front, the Serbian international is an ideal candidate for David Moyes to use on the left flank position of the team’s formation.
He possesses a great deal of both speed and strength, and the mentality of a winner, which will propel us to an entirely new level. Nevertheless, the fact that the study was compiled in Kostic’s own country lends more credence to the accusations because they came from an independent source.
We can only keep our fingers crossed that they haven’t gone too far with things and that Filip Kostic will be donning a West Ham shirt in the very near future.
Deal For Yuri Alberto Is Now Off
According to Football Insider, a deal that involved West Ham and Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto had ‘collapsed’ as of today. Yuri Alberto was the object of West Ham’s pursuit. David Moyes has put a lot of faith in Michail Antonio so far this Premier League season. Antonio has now started three games for the Hammers and has scored two goals in those games.
Even though Antonio has been playing really well, Moyes still wants to bring in another striker despite the fact that he just sold Gianluca Scamacca to Atalanta earlier this month. As per TEAMtalk, the acquisition of Alberto was West Ham’s main objective. However, according to the Daily Mail, the idea has been scrapped despite the fact that the technical director Tim Steidten travelled all the way to Brazil in order to negotiate it.
The information received from the source is that Stiedten has returned to London and is already in the process of negotiating contracts with further striker targets. Everton is apparently one of several teams who are interested in signing the experienced striker Danny Ings, and these rumours have led to speculation that Ings might leave West Ham before the transfer window closes.
Because of the increasing need for a new center-forward, West Ham will have a busy couple of days ahead of them. In the next twenty-four hours, it will be very interesting to see whether West Ham makes a formal bid for either him or En-Nesyri. Both of these players are quite desirable. It’s possible that he might benefit much from moving his profession in that direction.
