Exclusive | West Ham respond to star’s 11th hour departure, Dutch window still open. Rumours and stories abounded this morning as, after the drama of the English Premier League window closing at 11.00 last night, several other windows remained open for business as Hammers players were linked with ‘last minute’ departures.
Dutch site vi.nl – reported by caughtoffside.com this morning, linked Luis Guilherme with a move to Feyenoord, in their article entitled “West Ham forward set to leave beyond Premier League deadline day”: stating:
Exit announced | West Ham’s public separation becomes a divorce
“The Hammers could lose attacker Luis Guilherme to Dutch club Feyenoord, according to Voetbal International. The Dutch transfer window is still open and it will shut down on the 4th of February which would make it possible for Feyenoord to sign the West Ham attacker.”
So this morning to get the exact position regarding Guilherme, who came on late last night against Chelsea (more of that later) – we spoke to Claret and Hugh’s highly placed source within the club this morning: Were the stories linking the Brazilian with a post – EPL deadline day exit true? Was Guilherme on his way out of West Ham?
” No we decided to keep him, despite bids”
So. Now you know. Guilherme is staying to develop under Graham Potter.
