“West Ham’s SHOCKING £40M Masterplan to Snag ‘PHENOMENAL’ Star as Kudus’ JAW-DROPPING Replacement!”

West Ham Eye Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott as Kudus Replacement

West Ham United are targeting Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott as a replacement for Mohammed Kudus, according to The Guardian.

With manager Graham Potter preparing for his first full season at the helm, the Hammers are looking to make key additions despite a quiet start to the summer transfer window.

Following the £55 million sale of Kudus to Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham are now ready to reinvest and have identified Elliott as their prime target.

The 22-year-old impressed during the summer, starring for England’s Under-21s as they defended their European Championship title.

Elliott not only scored in the final but was also named player of the tournament, reinforcing his growing reputation.

Elliott is now seeking more consistent game time at club level, and a move away from Anfield appears likely. Potter views the creative left-footer as a perfect fit for his system and squad vision.

Although no formal bid has been made yet, West Ham believe they are well-positioned to meet both the player’s personal ambitions and Liverpool’s financial demands.

Liverpool are reportedly open to selling Elliott for £50 million, but may consider a lower offer of around £40 million if a buy-back clause is included, ensuring future control over the player.

Potter is determined to bring in young, energetic talent capable of lifting both the squad’s quality and morale, and sees Elliott as someone who can offer both on and off the pitch.

In addition to pursuing Elliott, West Ham are close to finalising a deal for left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf.

A fee has been agreed with Slavia Prague, and the Senegalese defender is set to undergo a medical in London on Monday.

The double swoop could mark a significant step in reshaping West Ham’s squad ahead of the new season.
