Romano: Hammers make shock transfer bid
Fabrizio Romano has broken the news that West Ham have made a bid for USA striker Ricardo Pepi.
The 22-year-old striker scored the winner in PSV Eindhoven’s victory over Liverpool last night, inflicting Arne Slot’s first Champions League defeat of the season.
And now, transfer ITK Romano has revealed that the Hammers have made a surprise €25m bid for the in-form striker.
Pepi has scored 11 goals in 18 Eredivisie games—despite only being named in the starting lineup five times and primarily playing as a substitute. Despite limited game time, his goal tally is the second-highest in Holland.
The former Dallas frontman was named MLS young player of the year in 2021 and has joint US & Mexican citizenship.
Posting on social media, Romano Wrote: “West Ham submit official bid for USMNT striker Ricardo Pepi worth €25m package, loan with obligation to buy. Understand PSV Eindhoven have rejected the proposal.”
If true, it suggests that the club have been keeping certain transfer business very much under wraps, moving for a player who hasn’t featured prominently in the gossip columns this month.
Serious knee injury out for rest of season ‘
Sullivan: We tried…
Gold’s Ghost: Don’t stay up next Monday night…
Add him to list of ‘near misses’.
If Sullivan was a striker most of his shots would end up near the corner flags…
How much below there asking price was we ?
Would be lovely if you lot and the so called insiders (LOL) tried keeping things under wrap to help give us a chance and not make things public….just a thought old chap
Couldn’t agree more Phil. Fingers crossed it gets done.

naive. to think that this site is giving out news nobody already knows about is laughable in itself. it’s news to us, but not those working in those circles. we are the last to know
The perfect way to conduct a transfer negotiation is quietly .
must have been a macauley target
sullivan doesn’t have the self control to keep quiet
So far we have a team of new strikers if you believe everything you read so have gone from none to 10 to many
I’ll look forward to the ‘exclusive’ tomorrow where C&H’s TOP SOURCE at the club says this story is rubbish. Maybe chuck in a few remarks along the lines of January being a difficult month to do business in and the club being up against it PSR wise also for good measure.
🤣🤣🤣 exactly what I said and throw in a few bits of injury news that players are coming back ..meaning no need to buy …its so. obvious bud isn’t it
.you can read the club like a book …
Pathetic
