Done deal West Ham has successfully signed Liverpool’s target join  13-goal Man Utd star…….

West Ham United have registered an interest in signing Manchester United youngster Amad Diallo, according to reports.

The 20-year-old has just completed a successful loan spell at Sunderland, where he helped the Black Cats reach the playoffs.

Diallo’s form has caught the attention of several European clubs, with Erik ten Hag currently mulling over what to do with the attacker.

The youngster signed for Man Utd back in January of 2021. Since then he has been on two loan spells, firstly to Rangers, and then to Sunderland.

This season, Diallo made 37 Championship appearances for the Black Cats, scoring 13 goals and making three assists.

As mentioned, this has caught the attention of several teams. For instance, Dutch title

Although, Ten Hag could still potentially give Diallo another chance at Old Trafford next season. So, the manager has a big decision to make in the coming weeks.

But, with Premier League clubs also registering an interest in Diallo, a departure, as it stands, is looking more likely.

Ten Hag must choose one of three options with Diallo
According to to Northern Echo, West Ham are understood to be ‘lining up’ a move to sign Diallo on loan for next season.

Man Utd still have high hopes for the winger. But, there is a concern that next season will be too soon for him to become a first-team regular.

In a recent interview, Ten Hag shared his thoughts on Diallo and what development path he has in mind for him.

Speaking to BBC Sport, the manager said: “We loan such players to let them develop and make progress, to bring them back. That is the aim of a loan,”

“We are really strong on them in the matter of the way we mentor them. We follow them and we have communication through all the season.

“Especially Darren Fletcher – he invests a lot in such processes and the aim is to bring them back as a better player and with better experience.”

Now, it remains to be seen what Ten Hag plans to do with Diallo next season. As it stands, he has three choices: sell him permanently while he is in high demand, loan him out again, or, try him out in the first team.

Ultimately, the Dutchman’s decision will most likely come down to how the youngster performs in pre-season.

Diallo generally plays on the right wing, which has been somewhat of a problem area for the Red Devils. Jadon Sancho, for instance, has struggled to make an impact this term.

So, it will be interesting to see if Ten Hag backs Diallo to fill in for the likes of Sancho and Antony next season.

West Ham United have only just sold Arthur Masuaku, now he reportedly could join another Premier League side.

According to a report from Turkish outlet Takvim, Arthur Masuaku is a transfer target for Sheffield United this summer, having only just joined Besiktas on a permanent £2 million deal from West Ham.

West Ham have only just sold Arthur Masuaku, now he could join Sheffield United
The 29-year-old is a surprise summer transfer target for the newly promoted Blades according to a report from Tavkim.

Word of advice for Sheffield United – you really don’t want to be signing Masuaku in my opinion.

Getting rid of the 29-year-old on a permanent deal this summer was really good business from the Hammers.

He never made any kind of positive impact in East London, and was regularly a weak-link for us when he played.

Arthur Masuaku’s poor concentration levels and shocking positional awareness cost West Ham dearly on numerous occasions over the years.

I’m delighted that we managed to get a fee for him, even though it represented a £4 million loss on what we paid for him seven years ago.

And if Sheffield United end up signing him, their fans will soon find out exactly what I’m talking about.
