West Ham Secure Five-Year Deal for Promising French Talent
West Ham United Nearing Another Midfield Signing as Summer Rebuild Continues
Since replacing David Moyes as manager of West Ham United, Julen Lopetegui has been actively strengthening the squad.
The Spaniard has been granted significant funds to enhance the Hammers, leading to a busy summer of transfers.
West Ham has already secured the signings of Real Betis’ Guido Rodriguez and Palmeiras’ teenage sensation Luis Guilherme.
Now, reports suggest that the club is on the verge of completing their third signing of the summer, bringing the total number of new additions to nine.
West Ham is reportedly close to acquiring Mohamadou Kante.
Earlier in the summer, the club expressed interest in bringing N’Golo Kante back to the Premier League, but now it seems they are set to sign another Kante.
According to The Athletic, West Ham is nearing an agreement with Paris FC’s 18-year-old midfielder Mohamadou Kante, who is expected to sign a five-year contract.
However, Kante will remain on loan at Paris FC for the upcoming season.
The young midfielder had been in talks with Paris FC regarding a new deal, but it now appears that he is heading to England.
Kante is highly regarded as a future star, and his acquisition could be a significant coup for West Ham.
Loaning him back to Paris FC for further development could prove to be a wise move, allowing the teenager time to gain experience before joining the Hammers.
Despite making only nine appearances for Paris FC’s first team, Kante is considered an exciting prospect for West Ham supporters to look forward to.
His signing follows the arrival of another young midfielder, Luis Guilherme from Palmeiras, who was praised as “outstanding” prior to his move to East London.
With Lopetegui at the helm, this could mark an exciting era for West Ham. Although the club started the season with a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa, there were promising signs from the match.
