Harvey Barnes on West Ham wanted list
West Ham could purchase up to five players with the proceeds of the sale of Declan Rice for £105m per Six Foot Two – West Ham Magazine site (6ft2.co,uk)
Although Leicester City are asking up to £50m for Harvey Barnes it is reported the player could be sold for around £35m
Fulham have quoted a ridiculous price of £90m for João Palhinha to replace Declan Rice position, the West London side purchased the player for £20m last season so a £35m sale would be a reasonable return for the Cottagers.
The Hammers are on the lookout for a right back with likelihood of Ben Johnson leaving and Norwich City’s Max Aaarons should be available for £15m.
With Tomas Soucek another potential departure another defensive midfield target is Denis Zakaria who could also be available for £15 million.
Finally West Ham could move for Sunderland centre back cover Denis Ballard for £5m giving them a double your money reward for the £2m they paid Arsenal last July.
I would spend the money on a top CB not sure who though, see us linked with an interest in Torino CB. One CB I do not want to see anywhere near the club is Chalaba from Chelsea. I wud be happy with Palhinha or Alvarez with the Juv player on loan. Certainly not mctominay. I wud love Barnes too but if not Barnes I would go for Johnson at forest. Again players that Hudson odoi just a waste of money. If Scamacca stays I wud be happy but we need to sell both Antonio and Ings this summer and bring in someone with pace like David from france. You could do this business for 125m.. sell Antonio, ings, downes and I know some fans wont like this but also Soucek and Benrahma. The biggest thing we need to do is to get rid of Moyes.
Not really impressed with this list
Who you want mate?
As Rice hasn’t put in a transfer request isn’t he entitled to a cut of the transfer fee?
