Hammers name their Inheacho buy back terms!

West Ham will insist on a 50 per cent buy back clause should they be successful in winning the race for Manchester City starlet Kelechi Inheacho.

But they are seriously unhappy at closing a deal which could see City decide to insist on his return next summer or any window after it should the striker prove a success.

The Hammers are continuing to pursue the 21 year old but have admitted for the first time that City are currently insisting on the buyback which could make the deal “a glorified loan.”

It’s hard to argue with the Hammers view that City want to “have their cake and eat it” and are unhappy  that they are expected to take a risk of an unproven player and lose out after a season should he prove a great goalscorer for the Irons.

The club is continuing striker talks on several fronts but as has always been the case have the City forward and Michy Batshuyai at the top of their list.

A source told ClaretandHugh: We have decent relationships with both clubs but we know what’s required in the Inheacho scenario.

“We could  do the deal on buyback terms and although no price has been mentioned at this stage we would set any buyback clause at 50 per cent above what we paid them.

“However, we have other options we are pursuing  on the striker fronts. Our eggs are certainly not all in one basket. ”
