Report: Player Agrees to West Ham Transfer as Club Aims to Finalize Next Signing This Week
West Ham Express Strong Interest in Signing Arsenal Winger Reiss Nelson This Summer
According to talkSPORT, West Ham United are currently leading the race to acquire the services of a 24-year-old player who is keen on departing Arsenal in search of regular playing time.
Crystal Palace are also contenders in the pursuit of Nelson, valued at approximately £25 million. Frustrated by his lack of opportunities at the Emirates, Nelson seems poised for an exit.
However, TeamTalk reports that Nelson has given his nod to join West Ham, dealing a potential blow to Crystal Palace’s aspirations.
Nelson has reportedly agreed to join West Ham, marking a significant boost for the club amidst their ongoing negotiations for multiple signings.
West Ham’s longstanding interest in the player has intensified, with efforts underway to finalize the transfer during the summer window.
While Crystal Palace remains in discussions to potentially hijack the deal, West Ham aims to complete the transaction by week’s end.
West Ham Pursuing Multiple Deals
West Ham is concurrently pursuing several transfers. They are actively seeking a replacement right-back following Ben Johnson’s departure to Ipswich Town on a free transfer this summer.
Reports suggest advanced talks with Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka for the same position, with hopes of sealing the deal soon.
Manager Julen Lopetegui also seeks to bolster their defense with a new center-back and has an agreement in place to secure Jean-Clair Todibo, although competition from Italian clubs complicates the move.
Nelson’s potential addition is viewed as highly promising for West Ham, offering an exciting talent at a reasonable price, contingent on both clubs reaching an agreement.
