Blow for Wolves as West Ham move in position to sign ‘amazing’ 24-yo for £17m in the summer transfer window
West Ham United could deal Wolves a big blow by signing a very highly rated 24-year-old star in the summer window. The upcoming summer transfer window will be a vitally important one for both West Ham United and Wolves.
Hammers boss David Moyes will be looking to add numerous new signings to his ranks at the London Stadium, with as many as 12 players potentially set for an exit.
If we’re going to make some genuine progress over the next few years, Moyes needs to strengthen his squad in pretty much every department.
It will be a really busy summer at the London Stadium, and a new name has just been linked with a move to the club before the start of next season…
West Ham eye up move for 24-year-old in the summer window
The Hammers could be set to strike a blow to our Premier League rivals Wolves it seems. Moyes is on the hunt for a very highly rated goalkeeper according to claims coming out of Italy.
According to Italian outlet Sport Mediaset, Wolves face strong competition from West Ham for the signing of £17 million-rated Roma ace Mile Svilar.
Jose Mourinho once labelled the 24-year-old goalkeeper as ‘amazing’ (The Times) – high praise indeed!
The Serbia international has played 17 games for Roma this season and has let in 16 goals, whilst keeping six clean sheets in the process (Transfermarkt).
Standing at 6ft 2in tall, Svilar isn’t the biggest of goalkeepers, but he has a great spring and is exceptionally gifted with the ball at his feet.
With Lukasz Fabianski set to turn 39 next month, Moyes definitely needs to be looking at someone younger who can come in and compete with Alphonse Areola.
I think that the Roma stopper would be a fantastic signing for us in the summer transfer window.
And West Ham’s interest in signing Svilar will definitely be a big blow for Wolves.
