Just now: West ham is officially” closing on a deal for a sensension Attacking finalist” who rand a serious show with A Goat…..
Three deals have already been made by West Ham United during the summer transfer window. With new manager Julen Lopetegui in charge, the Hammers intend to make major roster changes this summer.
The London Stadium is now home to goalkeeper Wes Foderingham, winger Max Guilherme, and defender Max Kilman, with more new players to arrive shortly. After having trouble with Michail Antonio up front, they are now hoping to sign an attacker this summer in order to have a new man spearhead their attack.
According to Sky Journalist Manuele Baiocchini, West Ham United is almost certain to sign Jhon Duran, a striker for Aston Villa.
In 23 Premier League games last season, the 20-year-old forward for Aston Villa scored just five goals for the Midlands team, who finished in fourth place and advanced to the Champions League.
He played back-up to first choice attacker Ollie Watkins and did not receive many chances to show his talent.
The opportunities he got were mostly substitute appearances but the striker has shown promise during his limited playing time.
Aston Villa are reportedly asking for £40m for the Colombian attacker, however, the Hammers are not willing to match this price.
Jhon Duran’s transfer to West Ham expected to accelerate now
The striker was away on international duty with Colombia at the Copa America this summer.
His team was involved in the final against Argentina and ended up losing the title to Lionel Messi’s team.
With the striker now free from his international commitments, his club future will be sorted soon.
Duran has attracted the interest of Premier League giants Chelsea and Italian powerhouses AC Milan.
If West Ham can still manage to sign him, it will be a major coup for them.
