Tim Steidten hoping to seal West Ham deal for ‘incredible’ player with medical on the cards

West Ham United have enjoyed a fruitful month on the transfer front and they don’t seem to be done yet.

The Hammers only made their first summer signing in August, but they’ve already got three on board.

Edson Alvarez, James Ward-Prowse and Konstantinos Mavropanos have all joined West Ham recently.

Now, it looks like the Hammers are on the verge of making an especially high-profile fourth signing.

According to 90Min, West Ham director Tim Steidten is in Bulgaria applying the finishing touches on the deal for Mohammed Kudus.

The Hammers target scored a hat-trick for Ajax in their Europa League playoff encounter against Ludogorets Razgrad.

West Ham are reportedly hopeful of fully agreeing terms on Friday before flying Kudus back to London to undergo a medical over the weekend.

The deal to sign the Ghana international will apparently cost the Hammers around £37.5million.

West Ham are understood to see Kudus as a centre or wide forward option.

However, he does also have the ability to play in the number 8 or number 10 if required.

This versatility will come in handy as David Moyes looks to improve on how West Ham did last season in the Premier League.

Our view

Most of the speculation linking West Ham and Kudus is pointing in the right direction. And what a signing he could (hopefully will) be for the Hammers.

He is an outstanding talent who has been deemed ‘the total package‘ and ‘one of the most promising players in the world‘ with ‘incredible potential‘.

Much like Ward-Prowse, who left Southampton with an ‘incredible‘ legacy, as well as Alvarez and Mavropanos, Kudus would arrive at West Ham with a great reputation.

And in wake of West Ham’s solid win over Chelsea at the weekend, it shows that the Hammers have what it takes to build on their Europa Conference League win.

Liverpool in pole position to sign ‘enormous’ midfielder ahead of Man United

Liverpool are now reportedly in pole position to sign Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich in the coming days.

That’s according to The Daily Mail, who share the latest on the midfielder amid rumours linking him with a move to either Anfield or Manchester United’s Old Trafford.

Liverpool are in pole position to sign Ryan Gravenberch

Liverpool and Manchester United have both been linked with a move to sign Ryan Gravenberch for a few months now.

The Dutch midfielder, who has been praised by Erik ten Hag for his ‘enormous passing accuracy‘ only joined Bayern Munich last year, but his move to Germany hasn’t quite gone to plan.

Gravenberch played just 937 minutes of football in all competitions last season, and he’s yet to step on the pitch this campaign.

He is said to be open to a move to get regular game time, and the report claims ‘talks between Liverpool and Bayern have been described as productive’.

It has further been revealed that Gravenberch is high on Jurgen Klopp’s wish list, and it is Liverpool who are in ‘pole position’ in the race for his signature, even though Manchester United are interested and are monitoring all the developments.

TBR View:

Liverpool definitely still need a new midfielder.

The focus, all of a sudden, has turned to keeping hold of Mohamed Salah amid rumours linking him with a move to Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, but that shouldn’t distract Klopp and co.

Wataru Endo is a good player, but another midfielder in that position would be ideal in what will surely be a long and difficult campaign.

Gravenberch would be a great addition, but whether Liverpool can get a deal over the line before next week’s transfer deadline remains to be seen.
