Reliable club source responds as West Ham reportedly line-up swap deal for C’Ship star
West Ham United are facing the realistic fact that they may need to sell players in order to bring fresh faces into the London Stadium.
Queens Park Rangers playmaker Eberechi Eze is a clear target for the Irons, with the Guardian reporting that he is worth up to £16million.
90min even reported on Thursday that the Hammers could target a swap move for the 22-year-old, who starred in the Championship last season.
Claret and Hugh have responded to those links though, saying that they can firmly rule out any chances of that happening over the summer.
The reliable club source have suggested on their website that QPR have no interest in doing that and that the Hammers would have to cut ties with an unrealistic name.
Manuel Lanzini would be one that could go the other way, and that is ludicrous. The Argentinian would never take a wage-cut, especially to play in the Championship.
Eze was the third-best player in the entire Championship last season according to WhoScored, with only Said Benrahma and Matheus Pereira better.
Yes, we would love to see the playmaker at the London Stadium next season, but only if the deal makes sense for the Irons to complete.
Jarrod Bowen came in from the Championship in January and has excelled, so there will be few doubts over his potential in the top-flight.
QPR obviously had Jordan Hugill last season, but West Ham would surely have to add cash plus the loanee to tempt their hand for Eze.
