They also want Maddison, though not for the £50m Leicester want apparently. So Alex seems an unlikely target. Although depending on their budget, an early report suggested £70-75m ie in fees, maybe if they want to strengthen 2 or 3 positions Scott may come into the reckoning.

Yes, quite possible as they want to free Bruno Guimares to play further forward. Though they are also said to want a left back and a centre back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying West Ham likely destination for Alex. They scouted him loads of times including every or nearly every game post Christmas. Very keen on him, but will they pay the valuation?

In theory well the Rice £100m valuation or however much it is would make it easy but. https://www.claretandhugh.info/uefa-warn-west-ham/ I would say yes but they will try and have a net spend of £0 for FFP reasons. How far they can spread that will be a key question. I know about amortisation etc but one factor to consider. They were put on a UEFA watchlist in 2022.

underhanded Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 A rare ITK claim (my friend's bosses wife heads up the Adidas/Arsenal relationship...or something like that) says that the Rice deal is basically already done (personal terms agreed), but there's just a bit of fine tuning on the fee. Anyways, hoping its true, as I see West Ham as one of the more likely PL destinations for Scott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are about to appoint a technical director which might put Rob Newman's job at risk. No indication it will affect their interest in Alex though. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/21/west-ham-on-verge-of-appointing-tim-steidten-as-new-technical-director Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
