Get French Football News claim that Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour is wanted by Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham. They claim he is enthused by these two suitors because of Liverpool’s European status and the West Ham’s location in London.
Today, Foot Mercato claim that the Magpies have made an opening bid for the player worth €17m. They claim that a deal for €20m will be enough for a side that Abdennour is actually interested in joining, whereas Monaco want a deal which totals at €30m if they are to part with the player this summer.
The story was enough for the club’s ITK to mention it without denying the story. Boleyn Insider said There have also been reports linking West Ham with Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour. My sources have told me that they are looking at a number of other top class players but they cannot say anymore at this stage as it will make other Clubs aware of our targets.”
I’d be amazed if we paid that money for a defender. I was reading earlier he’s keen on Matte land,maybe he’s partial to a fig or two lol
It seems we are being linked with every available player in the transfer market but still little or no actual signings.Looks as if Song is on his way back to us and Payet a strong possibility although Marseille are saying we
” tapped up” their player.I gather “tapping up” means speaking to a contracted player without the club’s express permission.Not a real fan of Remy or Ba but Cabaye would be a great plus.With Nolanihino,JOB, Matty Jarvis and Mr Miagi up in the pecking order they might get limited opportunities.I am sure Bilic will be a no nonsense manager with only Croat players as perhaps his ” favourites”.Anyway I am optimistic about our club’s future.
If we pay all this money for this player but would not pay half for the one that went to Turkey we are pott,More chance of a couple of Freebies for the defence like Scott Dann as they know him,or the Freebie from Villa or £4 million for Corluka
