I get the impression that West Ham needs Reiss Nelson far less than Reiss Nelson needs the Hammers.
The latest updates on the transfer grapevine appear to suggest that Nelson is close to agreeing to a deal with West Ham. However, from the outside looking in, I can’t see any way that this transfer gets completed.
Nelson is on a prohibitively high salary, is overvalued by his club, and is limiting his transfer options by insisting he only wants to transfer to a London-based football club.
The Gunners winger is an okay player, but he’s nothing exceptional. He has played fifty times for Arsenal, scoring four goals, and ironically, he seems to perform particularly well when playing against the Hammers.
He has had loan spells in both Germany and Holland with relative success; however, it’s hard to justify the price tag of £25 million pounds that Arsenal are demanding.
Moreover, if Nelson is pushing for a transfer in the hope of more first-team football, I can’t help but think he’s barking up the wrong tree. While I believe the player would be a decent squad addition at West Ham, I can’t for a moment imagine that he would push either Jarrod Bowen or Mohammed Kudus out of the first-team line-up.
Look at all the big six clubs whether it’s Utd, Arsenal, Juventus they are asking fortunes for players that can’t get near their first team, which shows that PSR is working, all of these clubs are now coming unstuck and need to get money in the bank, Arsenal less so than others but still they are trying to screw everything out of the deals.
I would steer clear of him, hoping as well we rub Juventus noses in it with Todibo, they have the audacity to criticise us for upping the proce of the defender when them and all the other big clubs have been bullying smaller clubs for most of their history
Ditto I don’t think I would want any of arsenals cast offs even Nketia
I agree matt Soule is a far better prospect or wahl from lens !!!
Soule is a left-footed RW, which with Bowen, Kudus & Guilherme we simply don’t need. Wahl is a striker .. Nelson is a right-footed LW which is a position we need to fill. Nelson is home-grown & English so fits another squad requirement.
We have at least 8 homegrown at the moment,so hardy a requirement in signing new players.
soule isn’t a left footed RW, he just played one on loan
like all our attacking midfielders they can be played on either side, you either cross or strike at goal unless your a bowen who can do either with both feet
the point is soule is probably best in the centre but there is no reason you couldn’t play him across the three
tell me andy, who is going to step up and find a pass if it goes sideways against paq? JWP? take your hand of it…
Can see the dressing room kicking off if we sign this guy on anywhere near £100k p/w.
Let Palace sign him and buy Soule!
