“West Ham’s SHOCKING Raid to Snag El Khannouss in £22.5M Heist, Leaving Leicester Utterly DEFENSELESS!”
West Ham Emerge as Contenders to Sign Leicester City's Bilal El Khannouss
The attacking midfielder was one of Leicester City’s few shining lights last season, managing eight goal contributions despite the team’s relegation.
As a result, West Ham are exploring a move for El Khannouss to strengthen their attacking options and add more creativity and goals to their lineup.
The transfer saga has now intensified, with manager Graham Potter eager to secure another key addition to his squad.
El Khannouss Has £22.5m Release Clause at Leicester
Following their drop to the Championship, Leicester are preparing for a difficult campaign — but they may have to do so without El Khannouss.
According to talkSPORT (16 July), the 21-year-old Moroccan international has a £22.5 million release clause written into his contract, despite joining Leicester for £20 million just last summer.
This clause has attracted widespread attention. While Sunderland and Nottingham Forest are monitoring the situation, Everton, West Ham, and Monaco have all conducted checks on the player.
Clubs from Saudi Arabia have also expressed interest, but it is believed El Khannouss is determined to remain in Europe to further his career.
Leicester fans viewed the midfielder as one of the very few bright spots during a disappointing campaign, with many describing him as a “lone bright spark” throughout the season.
West Ham Must Move Swiftly for El Khannouss
Given his performances in an underperforming Leicester side, El Khannouss could prove to be a valuable addition for West Ham.
With multiple clubs circling and the relatively modest price of £22.5 million, competition for his signature is only likely to intensify in the coming weeks.
If Graham Potter is serious about landing the talented playmaker, swift action is essential. West Ham must act decisively to ensure El Khannouss makes the move to the London Stadium before another club beats them to it.
