West Ham face uphill struggle

West Ham face an uphill struggle to sign Filip Kostic from Frankfurt Claret and Hugh has been told.

The Bundesliga left-sided player shares the same agent as Gianluca Scamacca but persuading the player to forgo Champions League for the move will be an entirely different challenge.

In June, Juventus were said to be edging closer to an agreement for Eintracht Frankfurt winger with a deal claimed to be almost done. Torino and Inter Milan also made approaches without success.

Kostić is entering the final year of his contract and came close to joining Lazio last summer.

Reports in Germany suggest recent interest by West Ham might be a ploy by his agent Alessandro Lucci to force a better deal with Frankfurt for the 29-year-old to remain in the Bundesliga.

Others suggest he would only be interested in joining a team who were in the Champions League if he left the Europa League champions.

  1. It won’t be the end of the world if we don’t sign him, I wasn’t that impressed with him for Frankfurt, he is creative but without the ball not doing much and not great defensively, I guess he is a replacement / upgrade for Masuaku ?

    We should focus our efforts on Onana, Zielinski and Raum, what has happened to the David Raum talk, he is a genuine left back and a massive upgrade on Cressie.
