West Ham United is working on three open fronts to strengthen its squad and replace Declan Rice, who is about to join Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. The London team has three players in its sights to occupy the midfield and maintain balance in their game: James Ward-Prowse, Denis Zakaria and Palhinha.
The 3 players that West Ham follows to replace Rice
As reported by Sky, Denis Zakaria is the favorite to join West Ham. The 26-year-old Swiss midfielder is in negotiations with the English club, but has also aroused interest from Juventus. Zakaria is one of the discards of “La Vecchia Signora” after returning from his loan at Chelsea, which makes him an attractive option for the “hammers”.
Another option on West Ham’s list is Palhinha, who excelled last season with Fulham in the Premier League. However, the London club runs into a barrier, as the team that owns the player’s rights is asking for more than 100 million euros and seems unwilling to negotiate. Palhinha, a Portuguese national and 27 years old, left a great impression with his performance in the English top flight.
Finally, West Ham have shown interest in James Ward-Prowse, Southampton midfielder and captain. The club would take advantage of Southampton’s relegation to the Championship and seek to seize the opportunity in the market. Ward-Prowse, 28, is recognized for his leadership and quality in midfield.
These three options are being considered by the team led by David Moyes, current Conference League champion, to replace Declan Rice and maintain a competitive level in midfield. West Ham is working to close the signings and ensure a solid midfield for next season.
As Rice’s departure to Arsenal approaches, West Ham fans are awaiting the outcome of these negotiations and are hoping that the club will be able to secure the arrival of one or more of these talented midfielders to maintain their good form in the league. Premier League.
