ITK reporter Fabrizio Romano insists a West Ham transfer for Ibrahim Osman is still very much on in an exciting evening update.

Earlier this week we reported on Hammers News that West Ham would turn their attentions to signing Ibrahim Osman once the Kalvin Phillips deal was done.

And so it has proved with the Hammers pushing to bring the electric Ghanaian winger to east London.

In midweek we were exclusively told by the top source inside West Ham that an opening bid to Danish side Nordsjællands for Osman had been knocked back.

But negotiations have continued for the talented 19-year-old, who is a product of the same Right to Dream academy as Mohammed Kudus.

Romano insists Osman still on

Osman has been dropping hints he is keen to join West Ham with his social media activity.

There has been disappointment among West Ham fans today after board source Sean Whetstone revealed the move for Osman is in doubt.

Whetstone said an advisor to the board had voiced concerns as to whether Osman is up to Premier League standard at the money being asked by Nordsjælland.

The likes of Guardian journalist Jacob Steinberg also then claimed the move was off.

Fear not, though, Hammers fans.

Because Fabrizio Romano insists a West Ham transfer for Osman is still on in an exciting evening update.

‘Osman insists for West Ham’

The transfer reporter has denied the Osman deal has collapsed in update on X.

And he says there is still hope there can be agreement over the fee with Osman insisting on joining West Ham.

“Ibrahim Osman wants the move to West Ham and he’s not creating any issue,” Romano said.

“Same for his agent, personal terms were agreed very fast.

“The issue remains Nordsjælland after bid in excess of €18m (£ 15m) rejected — they want more.

“Deal not collapsed yet, Osman insists for West Ham.”
