West Ham told to pay just £22 million to sign the brilliant Albert Gudmundsson
West Ham United have been handed a major boost in the race to sign Albert Gudmundsson in January.
Albert Gudmundsson is firmly on the radar of West Ham in the January transfer window, and we’re believed to be battling Aston Villa for his signature.
Calcio Mercato are now claiming that Hammers boss David Moyes could face competition from Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma and Napoli for the 26-year-old attacker’s services as well.
However, the good news is that the Italian media outlet are reporting that West Ham can sign Gudmundsson for a real bargain – just £22 million in fact.
That would represent unreal value for the Hammers, and we really should be going all out to bring the Iceland international to the London Stadium…
West Ham told to pay bargain fee Albert Gudmundsson
Spending just £22 million on a player with the 26-year-old’s output should be an absolute no-brainer for the Hammers.
He has been on fire for Genoa so far this season, and has bagged 11 goals and three assists in 21 games (Transfermarkt).
The 35-capped Iceland international can play anywhere along the front-line but is at his best when operating on the left wing or in the number 10 role.
Gudmundsson is a very good dribbler, has impressive pace, impeccable technical ability and possesses a wicked delivery (Breaking the Lines).
The Genoa ace would provide Moyes with a completely different option to the ones he currently possesses, and he’d add real pace, directness and some proper output to our attacking play.
If West Ham really can sign Albert Gudmundsson for just £22 million this winter, what on earth are we waiting for? Make it happen!
