West Ham are looking to complete a £4.2million deal for Barcelona wonderkid Alen Halilovic, according to reports in the Metro this morning.
The paper quoted reports in Croatian outlet Vecernji news which says West Ham are lining up £4.2m deal for the technical pass-master.
Halilovic snubbed interest from Arsenal to join Barca last year but has struggled to force his way into the first-team. Slaven Bilic is said to key to landing the youngster for the Hammers.
Not ready for the premiership . Playing for the relegated Barcelona B team . Cheap doesn’t always mean a bargain .
Not good enough for premier league but good to enough to play senior international football? Your on drugs kev
Have you ever seen him play Kevin? For a 19yr old he is quality.That is why Barcelona want a buy back option on him if he moves anywhere.
Yeah he is a very talented young kid.I would take him for £4m absolutely no problem.Kids got the potential to be a star in a few years imo.
At just a tad over £4m is a bargain, how many 19yr ols kids could walk into a Barca 1st team? How many good players got relegated with us in 2002/03?? Austin just got relegated with QPR….
So 19 year old with undoubted quality and with a good future, bought by Barcelona because they saw some potential and want a buy back clause is a risk Kev? Do you remember a young talented midfielder called Fabregas who didn’t have any premiership experience he didn’t turn out to bad did he? Happy to pay 10 million for Mirrales yet not happy to pay 4 million for a quality talented youngster and then saying Nolan’s worth 2 million, Kev open your eyes pal the premiership isn’t the be all and end all when you buy players look at Austins alleged wage demands for a start
He was dubbed as the Croatian Messi, and was bought by Barca, also made the international debut at 16, no doubt he’s a huge talent. If the reported fee of 4.2 mil is correct, he’s cheaper than Maiga…
I would say why not for a talented 19yo flair player 😉
Last but not least, any English equivalent(if there are any) would set you back for at least 10mil…
A nother great deal and does it matter about who he goes to if we sell,get him tied to a 5 year contract and I would sooner sell him back to Barca then premier opposition,
Forget the Austin deals we are not going to win the premier this year lets build for the future
The deals we have done so far this year are going to see us grow strong over the next 3 years we can loan one more forward get Song in December,
O my god.people like Kevin need to do one. Do some research before putting up stupid comments
Sign him! Watched him play the final 20 odd minutes vs ManU in California. Excellent movement with the ball, can’t have enough creative players.
Samuelsen, Linzani, Halilovic. WOW
Of course they could all need settling in, but when they all hit it off, we’ll be lethal.
even Lanzini too!
Kevin does not realise Ligue B is better than the championship and being a upper coming player at Barca is just a little bit better than playing for most premier teams and at £4.5 million it’s a steal,but Kev,s been off his medication for quite a while now,
This fella is the bollox!! At £4m as well.. Serious serious potential, very rare you get called the next Modric/Messi. Only seen a YouTube clip of him but at one point he dribbles past most of the Argentina team and only Zabeleta gets a foot in just about. This lad with payet will be a decent pairing feeding balls into Sakho/Valencia. Must buy of the window
