Persistent Moyes refuses to give up on target
CandH and other sites have reported that the player looks set to remain at Eintracht Frankfurt for the final year of his contract before becoming a free agent.
The Hammers have launched a bid but the player’s manager Oliver Glasner believes there is little chance of Kostic joining the Hammers despite us having met the £12.75m asking price.
Speaking to Sky Germany, Glasner claimed that he didn’t know what would happen until September 1st, but that as of today he was certain the 29 year old would stay in the Bundesliga.
That was the same response as we received at the London Stadium when we inquired as to whether a bid had been launched.
However, we have learned since that Moyes remains very keen to bring the player in and the club is attempting to put a deal together which could tempt the left sided midfielder.
Moyes is persistent in the extreme when seriously fancying a player as was the case when landing Kurt Zouma from Chelsea after it looked as though he had missed out,
