West Ham new signing is sixth time lucky

West Ham latest signing Sead Haksabanovic previously had trials at Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Aston Villa but previously failed to impress and returned disappointed to his Swedish club Halmstads.

While on a one week trial with Manchester United in 2015 he admitted he was a Liverpool fan saying “I am a Liverpool fan, but United are a great club and has always been a nice club.”

West Ham have obviously seen something that the other teams did not see to gamble £3m on this transfer, either that or they see potential which is worth the modest investment.

Despite a lack of a trial you can guarantee that Tony Henry and his scouting network have fully researched the new signing who has made 70 first-team appearances for Halmstads despite his tender age of just eighteen.

Terry Westley probably added his opinion and he is likely to thrown straight into the Premier League 2 Under 23 squad to show what he can do. West Ham United  U23’s face Everton at 7pm this Friday at Dagenham & Redbridge FC for their first game of the season in Division one of PL2.
