Barcelona ace Junior Firpo has responded to Pablo Fornals’ instagram post amidst links with West Ham.
In other news…Report: Player could make shock return to West Ham’s January squad list
The Hammers have already made a loan offer for the 24-year-old full-back according to a report from Mundo Deportivo.
West Ham boss David Moyes will be very keen to bring a new left-back/left wing-back to the London Stadium in January.
We are in desperate need of more competition and cover for Arthur Masuaku and Aaron Cresswell.
And Junior Firpo would be an ideal addition for the Hammers.
The 24-year-old joined Barcelona from Real Betis in the summer of 2019 for around €18 million (£16.2 million) according to Mundo Deportivo.
Things haven’t gone to plan for Firpo at the Camp Nou, however. He has made just 29 appearances for the Catalan giants (Transfermarkt).
The former Betis ace is a top class player, however. He can operate either at left-back or left-wing-back and is exactly the kind of player Moyes should be looking to sign.
Firpo is the right age. He is athletic, dynamic and has bundles of technical ability.
The Barca and Hammers stars know each other very well having represented Spain’s under-21’s together.
The 24-year-old responded to Pablo Fornals on Instagram after the Hammers’ defeat to Chelsea on Monday…
And perhaps they will have a chance to rekindle their relationship if West Ham do end up signing Firpo in January.
