West Ham move straight on to exciting star Ibrahim Osman after Kalvin Phillips medical is booked claims a journalist.
West Ham are closing in on the loan signing of midfielder Kalvin Phillips from Man City but are not done there.
It was claimed yesterday that Phillips is ‘happy’ to join West Ham and the deal will be announced ‘shortly’.
Now LondonWorld is reporting sources have exclusively told them a medical has been booked for later this week.
Last Friday we brought news from a source involved in the West Ham side of negotiations who revealed Phillips’ soft spot for David Moyes had given the Hammers the edge over other clubs.
Phillips medical booked claim LondonWorld
With just over one week of the January transfer window remaining, the Hammers are already pursuing another star.
West Ham have moved straight on to exciting star Ibrahim Osman after the Phillips medical was booked claims a journalist.
CBS reporter Ben Jacobs called West Ham’s move for Lucas Paqueta and recently claimed West Ham were ‘the ones to watch’ for Phillips.
Jacobs was also the first to call Arsenal interest in Declan Rice.
West Ham move straight on to exciting Osman
Now he is claiming the Hammers have made an official move to sign exciting Ghanaian winger Osman from Nordsjællands.
Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth highlighted West Ham’s interest in Osman last week, saying: “Another player they’re looking at is Ibrahim Osman from Nordsjaelland, he’s a winger, 19-years-old. He’s a product of the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana, the same academy that Mohammed Kudus graduated from.”
Osman can operate across the forward line and either wing.
And Jacobs claims West Ham have now firmed up their interest in bringing Osman to east London with his club valuing him between £13-17m.

“Understand West Ham have now (officially) enquired about Nordsjælland’s 19-year-old forward Ibrahim Osman,” Jacobs said.
“As revealed, Ghanian also tracked this window by Brighton and Palace. West Ham the most active currently. No offers yet.
“Nordsjælland expect at least €15m (£13m) and may hold out for €20m (£17m).”
Osman fits Tim Steidten’s recruitment philosophy to a tee.
And we may be seeing West Ham giving Moyes and Steidten each a big say on signings with the moves for Phillips and Osman.
Just like they did in the summer with Moyes pushing for James Ward-Prowse and Steidten identifying Edson Alvarez and Mohammed Kudus.
