West Ham United news as ExWHUemployee shares announcement timescale of Manchester United ace Harry Maguire
West Ham hope to complete the signing of Manchester United defender Harry Maguire by this weekend, according to ExWHUemployee.
The reliable London Stadium insider claimed on Thursday (10 August) that work is ongoing to bring the 30-year-old to the club.
He’s not yet joined and is unlikely to before the end of the week so the England international is not going to feature against Bournemouth on Saturday (12 August).
Ex wrote on Patreon, “The club will also look to tie up the signing of Harry Maguire over the weekend. He will not be registered in time for Bournemouth because there are still contractual things to sort out before a medical can be completed.”
Get it done
David Moyes seems to want the much-maligned Manchester United player and by the looks of it, he will be joining this summer.
Maguire was stripped off the captaincy at Old Trafford and that’s as embarrassing as it gets after being the most expensive defender in history.
He will have a chip on his shoulder at West Ham and will desperately look to prove his doubters wrong.
The pressure will also be off and there won’t be toxic fans that boo him after every single mistake he makes.
The Maguire that plays for England is top drawer and Moyes will be hoping that he can deliver those kinds of performances for his side as well.
It remains to be seen if there are any other hindrances but all seems to be done and Maguire should be a Hammers player this time next week.
In other West Ham news, the club have now opened advanced talks with a Premier League player who appears to be open on leaving his side this summer.
