West Ham manager David Moyes desperately needs to bring a top-class attacking midfielder to the London Stadium this summer.
Jesse Lingard appears to be the Scot’s first choice signing (The Guardian).
In my view, there’s a much better option out there though…
West Ham transfer target will be sold
David Moyes wants to bring Ludovic Blas to the Hammers in the summer transfer window according to a report from L’Equipe.
And it seems as though the Scot will have a great chance to sign the 24-year-old.
Nantes manager Antoine Koumbouare told RMC Sport that there could be some big exits from the Stade de la Beaujoire, when discussing there futures of Blas, Alban Lafont and Moses Simon:
“They have an exit voucher. It’s clear. After that, it depends on the offers they have. If they have offers which suit them and which suit the club, they will leave. We will be very happy (for them) and we will work to replace them. And, if they stay there with us, they will remain part of the squad and we will work with them. We would love for them to stay,” adds general director – and son of the owner – Franck Kita. But if there are very interesting offers, we will have to think about it.”
Blas is a left-footed attacking midfielder who is most comfortable when playing in the number 10 position, although he can play out wide as well.
The 24-year-old possesses exceptional technique and has impressive pace and energy. The Frenchman is pretty strong as well – something that bodes well for his chances of adapting to the physicality of the Premier League.
He has been described as ‘incredible and spectacular’ by former Liverpool ace Pedro Chirivella who suggested that he is better than any other player he has played alongside (Daily Star).
Blas bagged 15 goals and five assists in 41 games for Nantes last term. He’s not just a flash in the pan either. The season before, he racked up 11 goals and five assists in 39 games (Transfermarkt).
West Ham transfer target Blas is a superb player. And if Moyes brings him to the London Stadium for £16 million this summer, we think it will great business for the Hammers.
