Seemingly since Kyle Macaulay’s arrival at West Ham in February, the club have been ‘scouting’ the same Colombian midfielder : Just last week Claret and Hugh’s article entitled ‘still scouting Midfielder after CWC screamer’ confirmed the Irons renewed continued interest in Monterrey’s Nelson Deossa.
On twitter, Medio Tiempo reported that the Irons had finally got off the fence and that a bid had been initiated – whatever that means. Deossa is currently the subject of considerable interest from within South America, in addition to the suggested West Ham bid which was reported by several UK outlets last night.
Deossa impressed at the club world cup
Poor quality screen grab- apologies. The text reads:”They want him in the Premier League: Exclusive!
Whether the Hammers have decided to take the risk on a player untested in the Premier league remains to be seen: With Alvarez, Paqueta, Rodriguez and Luis Guilherme already assimilated into the squad, perhaps Nelson Deossa could make a success of crossing the Atlantic too. With seven goals and three assists in the Mexican top flight last season, he’s clearly got an eye for goal.
Interesting, though, that the West Ham links seem to have come at a time when Palmeiras are looking to recruit their own Richard Rios replacement: Maybe a bit of agent skulduggery to try and push a deal along? Could well be. I’ve not seen anything of the player’s performance so time for some digging and delving, lest the ‘links’ between West Ham and Deossa start to become more than just tweets.
