News this lunchtime that West Ham have got their – or more precisely Nils Koppen has his man – and West Ham have agreed a multi-million deal for their prime winger target who is now in the process of travelling to London for a medical.
Reported by journalist Hans Jorgen Anthony Borchgrevink – and confirmed by Geo on Hammerschat at lunchtime, providing the rumours stack up it means West Ham will have landed one of the more exciting prospects of this window.
“West Ham and Viking have agreed on a deal for Edvin Austbø.
Young winger Edvin Austbø – deal agreed according to Norwegian journalist
The 21-year-old has been given the green light to travel to London to undergo medical tests”
Which will be a major coup for Koppen and for West Ham.
Compared with the prospect of signing Reiss Nelson – Nuno’s preference, according to our source – Austbø could be a fabulous addition to West Ham United’s Championship side.
Definitely one for the future, Austbo offers pace and arrives complete with Champions League experience, having scored midweek for Viking in their CL qualifier.
Hats off to West Ham for pushing the boat out (finally!) and going for a more costly, young, promising talent when the easy option would have been a boring, crocked free signing like Reiss Nelson.. We’ll let you know when the price (thought to be around ten mill) and terms are formally confirmed.
At last , what great news looking at us right now against Watford we need him . Great news !
So he’s cup tied then ….. I suppose you can’t win em all
If True then this is more like the kind of signing we need but until i see him in the Shirt and all that media guff they do nowadays i will not believe it.
One can only hope its true be a great signing for us time will tell
Maybe we should not consider Nuno and his crocks or old men Maybe it’s him that needs a transfer
Agree , still not convinced by nunoo
Hallelujah!!!!!
All this going forward means nothing with our defence!
That’s made my day us buying the young
”Exciting-Kid-Austbo” instead of the ”Bench-Warmer-Nelson”
Now all we need is Krensky 2 slip in with 25 Million 4 the
striker Fju who looks a good striker.
And iv noticed we haven’t been involved in buying a C B 4
a while now. i reckon Nuno’s got Galumbeckis in his mind
2 fillthat position seing as he had a great game against
Southampton inthe cup. C O Y I’s
So hope this is true. Could be start of removing Nuno or forcing him to resign 🤞
Why do I get the feeling that NES will get Nelson in too?
Probably alienating the Viking and using him seldomly.
