West Ham on verge of sealing first key January deal
There are undoubtedly several bit players for West Ham to attempt and ship off.At the London Stadium, names like Thilo Kehrer, Said Benrahma, Pablo Fornals, Aaron Cresswell, Ben Johnson, and Danny Ings are just a few of those who are left over.
Finding takers, however, is frequently easier said than done.
However, it appears that there is positive news on that front today.
Because, as Fabricio Romano confirmed, West Ham is about to finalize their first significant January transfer transaction.
The Italian transfer reporter has joined forces with another journalist to disclose that West Ham and Monaco, a French club, have reached an agreement to acquire German defender Kehrer.
Kehrer to Monaco claims Romano
As we previously revealed on Hammers News, Monaco was one of nine clubs interested in utility player Kehrer.
After spending eighteen months in east London, it appears that a quick deal has been reached for the former PSG player to return to France.
Romano stated, “AS Monaco are closing in on a deal to sign West Ham’s Thilo Kehrer for the January window.”
“Agree to a deal between the two clubs at the end.”
Only 19 minutes of Premier League play have been played by the £10.5 million acquisition for West Ham this year.
That’s even though he proved to be a valuable utility player for West Ham during their championship run in the Europa Conference League the previous year.
However, Moyes has totally sidelined Kehrer this season, since he has only made four starts across all competitions.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise that he has looked for a move and that West Ham has approved of it.
It ought to raise necessary money and clear that particular spot in the team for a new recruit the following month.
