West Ham United deep in talks for Marseille double deal for Duje Caleta-Car and Bamba Dieng – report
West Ham United are deep in talks with Marseille over a double deal for Duje Caleta-Car and Bamba Dieng.
That’s according to 90min, who reported that the Hammers are looking for a perfect double move to cover two key areas.
Dieng and Caleta-Car would both potentially arrive on loan with an option to make it permanent in the upcoming summer.
David Moyes is desperately pushing for new signings before the Monday deadline as it quickly approaches.
The Irons look to be pushing for initial temporary moves, with purchase options that can be taken up in the summer in case it doesn’t work out.
Both are critical moves, with the Irons still yet to make a single transfer with 28 days passed in the current window.
Double deadline deal.
Well, this one looks as though it could be taken to the deadline.
Marseille would prefer a permanent move but could be tempted to part ways on loan if it guarantees cash in the upcoming summer.
Caleta-Car and Dieng would surely welcome a move to the London Stadium, too, with a chance to challenge for Champions League football and play in the Europa League this season.
GSB and Daniel Kretinsky have the money to spend, but there is no need to go big if there is a chance to bring them in on loan first.
Michail Antonio needs cover desperately given his poor form and injury worries, and Angelo Ogbonna being out for the season means a new defender is needed even more.
Moyes will be pushing hard for these deals, and there is no chance we can get to Monday’s deadline without any moves being complete.
