West Ham Football
@westhamfootball
Tim Steidten and Julen Lopetegui want West Ham players to travel mostly by team coach this coming season.

Out will go UK flights and individual travel by players in cars.

The new policy will help reduce the teams carbon footprint but also bring the squad closer together travelling to and from games as a group.

West Ham leading chase for €30m-rated defensive ace

West Ham certainly appear to have their act together in this summer’s transfer window.



Though some targets have already slipped through their fingers, others have already put pen to paper and it seems that technical director, Tim Steidten, isn’t going to rest until he’s built a squad that Julen Lopetegui is happy with.

According to CaughtOffside sources with knowledge of the Hammers’ transfer plans, Ajax’s 24-year-old Centre-back, Josip Sutalo, is of interest.

West Ham want Josip Sutalo

The Bosnian, who actually represents the Croatian national team, has also been watched by Fulham and Brighton and Hove Albion.

It’s understood that West Ham are leading the race because of their recent dealings with the Dutch giants, from whom they signed Edson Alvarez and Mo Kudus.

Both of those players have settled in at the London Stadium wonderfully well, and if they’re able to land Sutalo too, it’ll be a great hat-trick for the East Londoners.

Ajax are seemingly not pushing their man out of the exit door but are understood to value him at somewhere between €25m and €30m.

Fulham are unlikely to do business at that price, though the Hammers and the Seagulls are expected to come in with first offers around the €20m-€23m mark.

From the player’s point of view, Ajax are in the Europa League qualifiers and, if they manage to negotiate them successfully, will have a European campaign to look forward to.

None of West Ham, Brighton or Fulham can offer Sutalo that, though the standard of football domestically week in and week out will be far higher than what he’s used to.

Were the Dutch side to therefore accept any offers for his services, it leaves the defender with quite the conundrum.




Sport Witness

West Ham only club to make ‘concrete transfer offer’ – Sale can see Hammers return

Jean-Clair Todibo to West Ham United may not be dead, according to Wednesday’s edition of Nice-Matin.

The Nice local newspaper is reporting on interest in the central defender. It’s claimed that Juventus are thinking about the player, as they look around for potential signings to aid their Serie A title fight.

However, Juventus are said to have ‘very little liquidity’ and made a loan offer on Tuesday. That was laughed out of town, with Nice wanting €40m.

Nice-Matin say the only club to have made a ‘concrete transfer offer’ is West Ham, and they believe the Hammers could return for the Frenchman.

That’s despite them spending big to take Max Kilman from Wolves this month.

West Ham’s offer was €30m plus a further €5m in bonus payments. Not quite enough for Nice, and it’s claimed Julen Lopetegui had even spoken to the player.

When that offer was refused, they quickly turned to Kilman.

Nice-Matin say if one of Nayef Aguerd or Kurt Zouma were to be sold then West Ham could return, and it’s claimed both of those players have been offered to Nice.

Aguerd is of interest but his wages are a barrier at the moment, although discussions appear to be ongoing.

As it stands, Nice-Matin believes ‘London or Turin are the most likely destinations’ this summer.

This very much feels like there’s a deal there to be done, and perhaps even around what West Ham offered in the first place.
