West Ham are being reported as trying to complete a deal for Colombia defender Yerry Mina.RR Low

The 22-year-old plays for Palmeiras in Brazil and is very highly regarded with Barcelona lining up a deal for next summer.

But West Ham are interested and trying to see whether they could do a permanent switch or an option further down the line.

The Mirror says: “It has been put to West Ham and they are keen but they know Europe’s top clubs are chasing him so it will be a hard deal to get across the line.”

      I read it, it looks like its been written by a bitter supporter or a Spud, some of the points are right for sure, the way we deal with transfers is unproffessional, as for all the stadium stuff, that is just teething troubles in a year or two hopefully it should all be forgotten.
