West Ham are this morning being linked with PSV Eindhoven winger Noni Madueke and his potential arrival at the London Stadium could finally provide a solution to the Maxwel Cornet saga.
The report suggests the Irons are one of several Premier League sides who have been watching the 20-year-old winger, who has thrived since switching to the Eredivisie side from Tottenham Hotspur three seasons ago.
Madueke had recently been linked with a move to Chelsea, but this now seems unlikely following their signing of Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk.
Since then, he has made nearly 80 senior appearances for the PSV, contributing 20 goals and 14 assists, despite suffering a number of injuries.
Whilst the form seems decent enough it’s hard to make a case for the inflated price tag the Dutch club are asking. If West Ham really are lining up Madueke as Cornet’s replacement it would seem foolish given his injury record.
The young winger is quick, tricky, athletic and a certainly someone PSV would be reluctant to release. Reports have indicated that Madueke could cost as much as £40m,
It remains to be seen how much truth is in this rumour but it’s certainly less believable than yesterdays Terem Moffi links.
