West Ham United new bid for Amadou Onana closer to £35million, wait now ahead
ExWHUemployee has shared that West Ham United are still awaiting an answer from Lille over their monster new bid for Amadou Onana.
The Irons are said to have launched a third offer for the midfield powerhouse in the past 24 hours, with suggestions it is worth around £32.2million.
Ex has responded to the reports, sharing himself that the bid is actually more like £35million with a nervous wait now ahead for David Moyes.
Writing on the West Ham Way Patreon page, ExWHUemployee shared what is happening now as the Hammers look to put their foot on the gas.
“We can confirm that the story of a third offer in for the Belgium midfielder Amadou Onana is true,” he wrote.
“The offer is said to be around £35m and we are awaiting an answer from his club Lille.”
Nervy.
West Ham United are now waiting for their answer, and this could transform the squad.
Midfield reinforcements were needed, and Flynn Downes coming in was a good start for depth, but this huge new bid for Onana proves another big star is wanted in that area.
Declan Rice is guaranteed to start, he always will be, but there are big doubts surrounding the future of Tomas Soucek, we could see a new-look midfield two.
Onana is a real powerhouse and his jump to the top since moving to Lille has been remarkable, and this should surely be enough for him to make the Premier League.
The player himself will surely want the move too, with consistent European football now available given our meteoric rise under Moyes in recent years.
A nervous wait is ahead, but surely we are now in a position where this can be done.
