As every year with the start of the Premier League season, English clubs are busy in all directions. This is particularly the case for West Ham. The Hammers, who did not come far from disaster and relegation last season, do not want to repeat the same season and therefore need to strengthen. But before registering reinforcements, you must first sell. In this sense, the Brazilian Lucas Paqueta was to bring a big jackpot to his management.
As we revealed to you, Lucas Paqueta (25) had already said yes to Manchester City. The former Lyonnais was seduced by the idea of joining the formation of Pep Guardiola. A new oral offer of € 101 million had even been submitted by the Cityzens to West Ham who expected 110 million. And while we expected this deal to be completed quickly, for the moment, the transfer is at a standstill. And it doesn’t seem to be related to financial issues. Intermediaries are trying to unblock the file.
Elye Wahi and Doku targeted, Kudus waiting
At the same time, the London management is also looking to strengthen in attack. The profile of Montpellier’s Elye Wahi has been selected. Montpellier is also waiting for an offer from West Ham which has promised to outbid and which favors the main interested party as we announced to you exclusively. The Hammers have also made an oral offer for Jérémy Doku, priority for this position. The Belgian winger from Rennes, on the other hand, has agreed to a 5-year contract with Manchester City.
According to our indiscretions, the Hammers want, in addition to Elye Wahi, another striker. The desired profile is that of a pivot attacker capable of keeping the ball, young, and on loan. The desire to recruit a central defender on loan with an option to buy also exists. A left side is also wanted by West Ham. Finally, Mohamed Kudus is also very popular to come and strengthen the attack, but there is no offer yet.
