West Ham United are on the verge of completing two exciting signings, as they look to secure the services of Manchester United’s Harry Maguire and Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse. Both players have reportedly agreed to personal terms with the club, and while Maguire is still in discussions with United about his exit, the transfer is expected to be completed for a fee of approximately £30 million.
Additionally, West Ham is also close to announcing the signing of Mexican midfielder Edson Alvarez from Ajax. The 25-year-old has already passed his medical examination, and the final paperwork is being processed to finalize the deal, which is believed to be worth £35 million.
However, it seems that Manchester City’s pursuit of West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta has hit a roadblock. The initial offer of £60 million has been rejected by the Hammers, as they value the Brazilian midfielder higher and are reluctant to sell him for less. There is a possibility of a player swap with City, with West Ham’s manager David Moyes expressing interest in midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
Both Alvarez and Phillips have the versatility to fill the void left by Declan Rice, who recently completed a £105 million move to Arsenal. In addition, Moyes is also keen on young winger Cole Palmer, who impressed with a goal in the Community Shield defeat against Arsenal.
