West Ham United transfer news amid Everton links with Maxwel Cornet
Everton want to sign West Ham attacker Maxwel Cornet this summer and he has been added to their late list of targets, according to the Daily Mail.
The English newspaper reported in its print edition on Wednesday (30 August, Page 64) the Toffees want another wide attacker and are eyeing the 26-year-old.
Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler reported last September that the Ivory Coast international snubbed a move to Goodison Park last summer to spend more time with his family.
Get a good deal
The Hammers certainly will not be pleased with Cornet’s impact on the first team and it’s best if he’s shown the door at the club.
He has had fitness issues and whenever he’s played too, he’s not performed as many expected him to, having seen him at Burnley.
It’s understandable why Sean Dyche wants him as the 26-year-old thrived under him back when both of them were at Turf Moor.
David Moyes will also be happy as not only will this take Cornet off the wage bill, but give the Hammers more funds to manoeuvre in the transfer window.
It remains to be seen whether or not Everton do end up making a bid for him as time is running out and he’s emerged as a late target.
Finances are tight at Goodison Park so it remains to be seen if they have the funds to sign Cornet.
In other West Ham news, the club have now opened advanced talks with a Premier League player who appears to be open to leaving his side this summer.
