Stassin and Liverpool star to join – 3 deals West Ham must strike with Kudus millions
West Ham are set to generate serious funds through the sale of Mohammed Kudus.
It has been a slow start to the window for West Ham, though with Mohammed Kudus expected to join Tottenham in a deal worth around £55million, that should change imminently.
The Irons will have money to spend, and have several areas of the squad that need attention if they are to progress under Graham Potter.
West Ham Zone looks at three deals the Hammers need to look at accelerating once that sale goes through at the London Stadium.
West Ham to strike Lucas Stassin deal
The number one priority for West Ham this summer has to be a striker, with the Irons already linked with a move to sign Lucas Stassin.
The Belgian forward impressed in Ligue 1 last season, scoring 12 and assisting four in 28 appearances, and at just 20 years of age, he still has plenty of time to develop further.
Stassin could leave Saint-Etienne for around £15m this summer, with it recently reported by Sacha Tavolieri via X (9 July) that he wants to leave.
Teams from Germany and France are sniffing around for his signature, but a move to the Premier League may appeal.
Ademola Lookman to replace Kudus
Aside from the need for a striker, the next priority will be to replace Kudus once his move to Tottenham goes through.
Ademola Lookman has emerged as a target, and this is another deal that the Hammers simply have to pursue this summer.
Lookman would be the perfect replacement for Kudus, though he wouldn’t come cheap.
Atalanta are said to be wanting in the region of £52m for his sale, though this could potentially be negotiated down.
Harvey Elliot to change West Ham fortunes
Harvey Elliot looks to be on the move this summer, and West Ham hold an interest in signing him from Liverpool.
Similar to Lookman, he wouldn’t come cheap, though he would provide an immediate injection of quality into a West Ham side that were staring down the barrel of a possible relegation fight last season.
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Premier League | 18 | 1 | 2 |
| FA Cup | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Carabao Cup | 3 | 1 | 1 |
| Champions League | 5 | 3 | 0 |
His versatility and general ability are top class, and for £40m, you would struggle to find a better deal this summer.
