A very big Sammie Szmodics to West Ham United transfer claim has just been made by a reporter close to David Sullivan.
Sammie Szmodics is a boyhood West Ham fan, and it would be great to have the red-hot Blackburn Rovers ace amongst our ranks next season.
Hammers boss David Moyes is under real pressure right now, and as things stand it is unclear as to whether he’ll actually be in charge at the London Stadium next season or not.
Maurizio Sarri is allegedly one of the names being lined up to replace the Scot. However, whoever is in charge this summer is irrelevant.
What matters most is the fact that numerous top-class additions need to be made, if we are to progress on to another level.
One of the priority signings has to be a versatile attacking midfielder – someone who could perhaps fill in at centre-forward as well if need be.
And Szmodics is someone who apparently could be London Stadium bound…
Big Sammie Szmodics to West Ham claim made
The addition of a top-class midfielder with bundles of energy and technical ability is needed this summer.
And judging by the latest round of reports, Szmodics could be the man for the job.
Claret and Hugh claim that the Blackburn Rovers ace is keen to join the Hammers in the summer transfer window.
What an incredible signing he would be for us. He has absolutely ripped it up in the Championship this season.
The 28-year-old has 30 goals and four assists to his name in 45 games for Blackburn so far this season (Transfermarkt).
Szmodics has unreal technique and a real eye for goal, as those numbers above prove.
He is at his absolute best when playing in the number 10 role, but can also operate as a centre-forward if need be.
Sammie Szmodics would fit right into the West Ham ethos, and having a boyhood fan on the books would be a major boost for the club as well.
