The transfer window for midfielders is in full swing this summer in the Premier League. While Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City have brought many new features to their midfield, West Ham is preparing for a major upheaval in the coming days. While the departure of their captain and midfielder Declan Rice to Arsenal is now official, the Hammers must now find a replacement. And as announced by the English press for a month, the London board has targeted Edson Alvarez.
The Mexican midfielder, ardently courted by Borussia Dortmund, is still on the side of Ajax Amsterdam to this day. Faced with stalled negotiations with the Ruhr club, West Ham accelerated this Friday and would have made contact with the Amsterdam management according to The Athletic. An offer is said to be about to be submitted as Ajax are asking for around 55 million euros. An affordable amount for the Hammers who will pocket a hell of a fortune for Rice.
