According to Miguel Delaney, Paris Saint-Germain are ‘in discussions’ with both West Ham and Crystal Palace about an extremely late deal for Hugo Ekitike after finally signing a replacement.
Freelancer reported via Twitter on Friday night (September 1) that the French giants had successfully landed Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt with “deal completed”, opening the door for the 21-year-old Ekitike out. Go.
A related update on the Independent adds that the French forward could still go to either Premier League club ‘tonight’, although the Eagles are now the ‘arguably the favorites’ ‘.
West Ham are making persistent and belated efforts to sign the former Reims striker after a failed bid in Brazil and are said to be willing to pay £38.5m to sign him.
The transfer window seemed to be ending quietly but a belated battle with local rivals is now imminent.
He is starting to look like the last man out of the window who could leave the London Stadium and let the club down in a key position. Overall, the latest deals with West Ham make the team look pretty good, but after sending Tim Steidten to Brazil, they are clearly serious about adding a late striker name to the top.
The door opened in the 11th minute when PSG promptly restored Kolo Muani after the German transfer window closed.
If West Ham finish in the final hours ahead of time, it will be a powerful statement to end the summer.
After a season lagging behind Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi at the Parc des Princes, Ekitike’s output has dropped compared to the previous season.
And it can be risky to spend big money on a young and untested striker, but everything shows that the recruitment agency is very interested in him.
So if he’s the player they believe he can be then it’s going to be doubly difficult to knock him out and get past Palace, although of course if Roy Hodgson comes first then that’s it. will also happen in the opposite direction. In other West Ham news, the club have made a final decision on another £25m signing after a year of pursuit.
