West Ham Risk Missing Out on 24-Year-Old with Man United Ready to Seal £25m Deal

West Ham and Manchester United appear to be gearing up for major moves in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Manchester United have been heavily linked with Jean-Clair Todibo, a player reportedly on West Ham’s radar.

With Ruben Amorim set to lead a major overhaul at Old Trafford, this potential signing is part of a wider recruitment drive.

Losing out on Todibo would be a significant setback for Graham Potter, who is also planning sweeping changes at the London Stadium.

But things may get even worse for West Ham.

According to The Sun, Manchester United have identified Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca as their top attacking target, with a reported valuation of £25 million.

This development will come as a major blow to Potter, as Lucca is also believed to be high on West Ham’s wishlist this summer.

Potter is under pressure to land a top-quality forward before the start of next season, and Lucca seemed like an ideal fit.

The 24-year-old boasts the physical presence and skill set suited to the Premier League.

Standing tall and strong, Lucca has proven to be a reliable goal scorer, with 12 goals and two assists in 32 appearances for Udinese this season (Transfermarkt).

But now, just like with Todibo, Manchester United could be poised to outmaneuver West Ham once again.

To add to the frustration, Man United are reportedly also eyeing Koni De Winter, another player linked with a move to the London Stadium.

With the Red Devils targeting multiple West Ham interests, the Hammers face a difficult challenge to secure their preferred signings.

If things continue this way, it could be a long and frustrating summer for West Ham, as Manchester United continue to disrupt their transfer plans.
