Two unidentified European bidders as well as a Saudi Pro League club made approaches to the defender. However, Nayef Aguerd consistently told his representatives that he was content at West Ham and had no desire to leave. Nuno Espirito Santo’s Al Ittihad expressed late interest in the 27-year-old player but did not make a counteroffer. Aguerd left Rennes in June 2022 for a transfer fee of €31 million (£26.7 million; $31 million), which may increase to €35 million with add-ons. The defender is grateful for the understanding displayed by Moyes and the physio staff when he missed four months of

After turning 20, Konstantinos Mavropanos departed his native Greece and joined Arsenal. He made only 8 appearances before leaving North London two years later. Mavropanos would make an impression on a brief loan at Nürnberg of the German second division, and then he would go out on loan once more in the summer of 2020, this time to Stuttgart. He made 89 games for the Bundesliga team Die Schwaben, who finished ninth before narrowly surviving relegation in back-to-back seasons. After winning the Europa Conference League at age 25, he relocates back to London and signs a five-year deal with Edson

Edson Alvarez’s flawless integration into West Ham’s midfield

Aditya Bose — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 12:46:36 +0000

Edson Alvarez, the versatile midfielder for West Ham United, showcased his immense talent and skill beyond his defensive duties during the intense match against Luton Town. In a remarkable display of his abilities, Alvarez left no doubt that he is a force to be reckoned with. In a moment of sheer brilliance, Lucas Paqueta showcased his exceptional skills by delivering a truly magnificent cross that allowed Jarrod Bowen to break through the impenetrable Luton defence. However, let us not forget the pivotal role played by Alvarez, who transformed into a masterful playmaker just moments before, setting the stage for this

It was still early in the transfer window, but it appeared that Mohammed Kudus might end up signing for Chelsea. They had presented Ajax with an offer, and they had reached a personal agreement with the Ghana international, who is 23 years old. Playing professionally in England was one of Kudus’s lifelong ambitions. However, progress was not made. The transfer of Ecuadorian international midfielder Moises Caicedo from Brighton & Hove Albion to Chelsea was eventually completed for a British record cost of £115million ($146m). Chelsea wished to give priority to the signing of Caicedo, who was formerly playing for Brighton

The defeated Luton Town players waited a few minutes, walked around the field, and thanked the supporters for their tremendous support following the conclusion of the game. The home fans did everything feasible to make Kenilworth Road’s Premier League debut a memorable one, maintaining the atmosphere high from start to finish. If Carlton Morris had converted a late opportunity to equalise moments before Kurt Zouma scored the goal that gave back West Ham to the top of the table, it would have been quite a thing. Unfortunately, Luton’s great night would end with a harsh reminder of life at the

Mohammed Kudus is a versatile counterattacker who is achieving his goals

Aditya Bose — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 06:02:10 +0000

The 22-year-old’s brief career is filled with palpable triumphs and sincere motivation for those watching at home, from scoring a stunning brace for Ghana at the 2022 World Cup to a rocket strike at Anfield. With his reputation developing after three seasons at Ajax, Kudus’s next move may be the most significant of his life. Kudus is a midfield technician, a speed dribbler, and a strong ball striker all wrapped into one. He is a medium-sized (5ft 9in; 177cm), stocky midfielder with endless energy on and off the ball. He has been incredibly successful for Ajax because of his ability
