It appears that half the Premier League sent scouts to watch Olympiacos face Fenerbahce yesterday, according to journalist Tomas Taecke.
While the specific player(s) being tracked remain undisclosed, the sheer number of clubs present suggests a broad scouting mission. Clubs are likely looking at multiple players across Olympiacos’ squad.
West Ham joined the scouting mission as they plan for the summer transfer window. The Hammers are reportedly prioritising a new striker and defender to bolster their squad for next season.
Former West Ham player Frank McAvennie believes central defence is a critical area for improvement. The performances of Kurt Zouma and Konstantinos Mavropanos this season have highlighted the need for reinforcements.
With the summer window approaching and a focus on defensive upgrades, West Ham could be in for a busy transfer period. The presence of scouts at the Olympiacos match suggests they are actively searching for solutions to their defensive frailties
