Hammers manager David Moyes will be desperate to bolster his central midfield ranks at the London Stadium, with Declan Rice set to join Arsenal.
I believe that Musah would be an outstanding replacement for Dec. However, there appears to be bad news on the horizon for West Ham…
AC Milan reportedly could sign ‘brilliant’ Yunus Musah for just £17m
Calciomercato are reporting that the Serie A giants are closing in on a deal to sign the American for a real bargain fee this summer.
The Hammers missing out on the Valencia star would be a big shame.
He is an elite player and is now a regular feature for both his club and country.
I genuinely feel like he’d be the perfect replacement for Declan Rice. The Valencia star is so young as well, and will only get better.
Goal have described the 27-capped United States international as ‘phenomenal’, meanwhile La Liga Lowdown have labelled him as ‘brilliant’, and they’re not wrong, Musah is an elite player in the making.
He has energy, dynamism, pace, power, physicality and athleticism in abundance. In other words, he’s ideally suited to the robust and intense nature of Premier League football, and more importantly, to Moyes’s system.
So with that in mind, it’s a huge blow for West Ham that AC Milan appear well placed to sign Yunus Musah.
