West Ham United are reportedly negotiating a deal with Nordsjaelland to sign Ibrahim Osman for around £15 million.
Ibrahim Osman has emerged as a January transfer window target for West Ham over the past couple of weeks, and the two clubs are allegedly confident of getting a deal done for the winger this month.
Hammers boss David Moyes has already brought in Kalvin Phillips on loan, and now he’s on the hunt for a new forward as well.
Osman, 19, has been making a real name for himself out in Denmark with Nordsjaelland this season, and now he seemingly could be set for a big money switch to the Premier League.
Sky Sports claim that West Ham are in discussions with Nordsjaelland about bringing Osman to the London Stadium for around £15 million.
That would be a decent deal for us in my book, and one that we definitely should be trying to rush through before deadline day…
West Ham now closing in on Ibrahim Osman
I would absolutely love the young Ghanaian winger to join the Hammers this winter – he’d be such an exciting addition to Moyes’s ranks.
He possesses absolutely explosive pace, and plays with a real kind of directness that would offer us some real unpredictability to our attacking setup.
Moyes has a really strong frontline right now, but little in reserve, and Osman could change all of that. He’d be a huge upgrade on Said Benrahma, Pablo Fornals and Maxwel Cornet, despite his inexperience.
The Ghanaian has bagged four goals and five assists in 29 games for Nordsjaelland so far this season (Transfermarkt) – a decent return for a teenager.
I just have a very strong feeling that Ibrahim Osman will go on to become a real star in the future, so £15 million for his signature could end up being a real coup for West Ham.
Let’s hope that the powers that be at the London Stadium manage to push this one through before deadline day on Thursday.
