West Ham will be going all out to bring in at least one striker in the January transfer window, especially after Michail Antonio’s car crash.
Ham looked set for disappointment in their pursuit of one alleged target.
Last month the Hammers were linked with a loan move for Randal Kolo Muani of PSG and France.
Journalist Graeme Bailey exclusively told Hammers News that West Ham were one of a number of Premier League clubs exploring a move for Kolo Muani.
But crucially he stated the east Londoners had a major advantage over their rival suitors – the offer of guaranteed game time.
Indeed at West Ham it would likely be a guaranteed starting spot.
Bailey stated Kolo Muani, who was inches away from scoring the winner in the last World Cup final, had come onto the radar of technical director Tim Steidten.
“Tim Steidten is aware of the player who previously starred for Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, and if Kolo Muani does move, West Ham will throw their hat into the ring,” Bailey said.
Given PSG paid £65m – with a potential further £10-15m in add-ons – the links seemed far-fetched to many.
But soon after Bailey’s revelation, L’Équipe stated the 26-year-old had reached a point of no return in Paris.
After being linked with a move to east London, though, further reports emerged in France stating the player had no intention of leaving PSG in January.
There has been a major development today, though, according to a top journalist.
