West Ham agree personal terms with ‘one of the most promising players in the world’ – journalist

West Ham United have reportedly made a breakthrough in talks to sign Mohammed Kudus.

The Hammers have been heavily linked with the Ajax and Ghana star in recent days.

Now, SPORT1 journalist Patrick Berger has shared a very exciting update for West Ham fans.

He has taken to Twitter to say the Hammers have reached agreement on personal terms with Kudus.

Tim Steidten is currently in the Netherlands pushing on that deal, while West Ham are in direct talks with Ajax.

The Hammers are now preparing a £35million bid to try and convince the Dutch giants to part company with Kudus, added Berger.

Kudus would be an amazing signing for West Ham this summer.

With the Hammers in the Europa League, in the Premier League and based in London, they certainly have a lot of pull.

Kudus is an outstanding talent who has been deemed ‘the total package‘ and ‘one of the most promising players in the world‘.

And £35million is fairly modest fee for a player of his quality, age and potential.

Let’s hope West Ham can soon strike a deal with Ajax and reach the home straight for what would be a superb signing.

The Hammers have needed some time to find their feet in the transfer market, but they’re very much up and running.

Jesse Lingard is said to be impressing West Ham United coaching staff as he continues to train with the club, according to Sky Sports.

The sports news outlet shared via its Transfer Centre [17 August, 14:59] that Lingard, who has been training with the Hammers in a bid to keep his fitness up, is being monitored as the club considers offering him a short-term contract.

Lingard was released by Nottingham Forest upon the expiry of his contract and has since been training with Inter Miami, before being offered the opportunity at West Ham where he is known to have admirers after his loan spell.

Understandably, Lingard has his admirers at the East London club who recognise his fantastic performances in David Moyes’ side and would like to see him replicate that form in a second spell. There are clear doubts though, hence the deliberation over a short-term deal.
