West Ham Intensifies Pursuit of Promising French Midfielder

WEST HAM has submitted an offer to secure Soungoutou Magassa, the midfielder currently with Monaco.

The Hammers are keen to recruit two midfielders before the transfer window closes.

At only 21 years old, Magassa functions as a holding midfielder and made 21 appearances in Ligue 1 during the last season, alongside seven in the Champions League.

Graham Potter has expressed a desire to infuse youthful energy into the midfield.

Edson Alvarez is anticipated to join Turkish club Fenerbahce on loan, which includes a buy option, enabling Potter to reallocate funds for new signings.

Fenerbahce will cover a nominal loan fee and take on all of Alvarez’s wages, which exceed £100,000 weekly.

West Ham has faced challenges generating revenue from player sales following Mohammed Kudus’s move to Tottenham.

Nonetheless, reducing wage bills could offer significant financial relief. Emerson Palmieri is also a possibility for transfer, with Besiktas reportedly interested.

The former Chelsea player is believed to earn around £90,000 per week.

West Ham is interested in acquiring Mateus Fernandes from Southampton, though their pursuit has seemingly diminished after two rejected bids.
