Bundesliga expert Kevin Hatchard is absolutely gobsmacked that West Ham have pulled off signing Sebastien Haller.
Haller has come in to replace Marko Arnautovic and there has been nothing but good words about the French lad.
And Hatchard declared: “They’ll be getting an excellent centre-forward,”
“They’ll be getting somebody who scores goals and creates goals, and whose hold-up play is excellent.
“He scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga last season but also set up nine.
“Eintracht Frankfurt looked a poorer side when he wasn’t in the line-up.”
He added: “Haller was influential in their Europa League run as well,”
“There has been a lot of talk about Luka Jovic going to Real Madrid and how important that is, but actually I think Haller leaving Frankfurt will do more damage to them than Jovic leaving, because he is such an important vocal point in their attack.
“I’m gobsmacked, quite frankly, that West Ham have been able to pull this off.” Hatchard said.
That hatchard knows he’s stuff. Very knowledgeable on talk sport.
