West Ham United transfer twist emerges as Leicester City make Matias Soule bid
West Ham are at risk of missing out on the signing of Juventus attacker Matias Soule to Premier League rivals Leicester City.
According to TV Dello Sport journalist Alfredo Pedulla on 14 July, the Foxes have tabled a bid to sign the 21-year-old winger.
They approach to have stolen a march on the Hammers who were planning on making a £25million+ bid for the Argentine attacker.
West Ham must act quickly if they are to sign Matias Soule
The Hammers must act swiftly to secure the signing of Soule as they face stiff competition from Leicester City.
The Foxes have already submitted a bid for the 21-year-old Argentine winger, indicating their serious intent to bring him to the King Power Stadium.
This move by the newly-promoted side puts West Ham at risk of missing out on a promising talent who has shown great potential during his loan spell at Frosinone in Serie A.
To convince Soule to choose the Irons over Leicester, the club should highlight the ambition of the club and the start of a new era under Julen Lopetegui, who has a proven track record of developing young talents.
The club’s success in the Europa League and their consistent top-half finishes in the Premier League demonstrate their competitiveness and the potential for growth.
He’s likely to fight a relegation battle at Leicester and on the other hand, he’d be competing for European football at the London Stadium.
