In the know source Fabrizio Romano broke the news every West Ham fan has been waiting for since the whole summer ‘we have to sell to buy’ debacle news broke. The first West Ham United signing of the summer is on the way as the Irons move fast – finally – having completed the sale of Mohammed Kudus just on Thursday of last week.
The deal brings Senegalese El Hadji Malick Diouf to London as a Hammer. The left back will join West Ham for €22 million in a deal agreed today, as broken by Romano on his twitter account:
“El Hadji Diouf to West Ham – Here We Go – deal agreed to bring in the left back from Sparta Prague! Transfer fee will be €22m plus add-ons after #WHUFC improved their bid. Player has been authorized to travel for medical”
Finally Graham Potter gets his man and West Ham United are off the mark with their first signing of the summer window. The defender will be heading to London Stadium for his medical with a signing likely to be confirmed in the next 48 hours.
One down, five more to go!
From the old Bobby Moore Upper to the Billy Bonds’ stand these days I’ve been watching since ’03 and a supporter since about 1970.. Don’t take my comments too seriously, imagine we are having a chat at half time over a pint at L S and “let’s disagree without falling out”.
