West Ham are going to need to get something of a wriggle on when the transfer window opens in January, with Leeds United set to battle for one of our top targets.
Whether we like it or not, the Hammers are in a relegation dogfight and need to find three teams worse than us. Nuno Espirito Santo may be in control of West Ham’s form, but the last thing the club needs is to see one of our rivals for the drop snare a top goalscorer.
Leeds Primed with bid for €22 million forward
And that is precisely what’s been predicted this evening, with Leeds reportedly chasing Irons target Franculino Djú. The Midtjylland sensation has scored an incredible 18 goals from 18 games this season, both domestically and in the Europa League.
Franculino Djú is wanted by West Ham and Leeds United
The Danish club are understood to be ready to do business at around €22 million, and both West Ham and Leeds look in desperate need of a striker.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s team recently lost at Elland Road to a home side who, despite their deserved victory, looked to be missing a genuine cutting edge. If anything, West Ham looked even more bereft of firepower than Daniel Farke’s men — something that must be addressed in January.
Both clubs have scouted Franculino Djú, but if David Sullivan allows one of Europe’s hottest properties to join a rival, it could mean one less team fighting for the drop.
Why cant you make a pre transfer/contract offer, get it going before we lose out again?
Surely Man City will be one of the relegated teams, they must finish this enquiry soon?
Don’t worry Gonzo i have faith in Mr Sullivan to get this deal done and sources say he is preparing a £3million offer with add ons that will take it to £3.5million so its a done deal
