The Hammers were chasing the 22-year-old hitman since Sebastien Haller left for Ajax in January right up until he joined the Foxes (Salzburger Nachrichten and Zam Foot).
West Ham’s hopes are finally over.
Daka is now a confirmed Leicester City player. The thought of signing him was fun while it lasted.
See what happens when you have a proper scouting system in place! See what happens when you have proper businessman conducting deals on behalf of the football club!
David Moyes desperately needs to bring a top class striker to the London Stadium this summer.
And Patson Daka would have been absolutely perfect.
The 22-year-old racked up a stunning 34 goals and 12 assists in 42 games for RB Salzburg last season (Transfermarkt).
Missing out on him is such a shame for the East London outfit. The Zambian cost the Foxes just £22 million (BBC). An absolute steal in the current market.
Leicester confirm Daka signing and West Ham fans fume
West Ham will surely end up regretting the fact that they didn’t make a stronger move to sign Daka.
The Zambian will undoubtedly go on to be a real hit at the King Power Stadium.
And the Hammers only have themselves to blame.
