Daniel Job set for fast-track transfer as West Ham bid tabled
Daniel Job's impressive form in his homeland could land the winger a move to West Ham United.
The 20-year-old has seven goals and eight assists in 16 appearances for Kongsvinger in the Norwegian second division.
Job has outgrown the division he is playing in, with a transfer on the cards before the summer transfer window closes.
While he is not exactly a well-known name, teams are sitting up and taking notice of the young attacker.
West Ham are very much one those teams, with news emerging of a bid being lodged.
And it may well be that Job is the third new face through the door at the London Stadium this month.
How much have West Ham bid for Daniel Job?
Joel Veltman and Manor Solomon have both joined West Ham in recent weeks, with Arne Engels surely set to follow.
According to Swedish outlet Expressen, West Ham have also now made an offer to sign Job.
Serie A side Lecce have also tabled a bid to Kongsvinger.
The report states that around £3.4m has been offered by both clubs for the young talent.
Swedish teams have also been credited with an interest, but it is expected Job will be fast tracked to a bigger division already
This is as a result of the winger "dominating" the league he has been plying his trade in.
West Ham get smart with transfer business
West Ham's Championship-record deal for Engels is on the verge of being confirmed.
That is a move that has got supporters very excited indeed ahead of the start of the Championship campaign.
Veltman and Solomon are also great additions to Nuno Espirito Santo's squad.
But West Ham are also seemingly looking to the future with this move for Job.
Should the bid be accepted, there is every chance the Hammers will let the youngster stay on loan at his current club.
At a little over £3m, it is a low-risk move for a player who has the world at his feet.
And if he goes on to replicate another player who emerged through the ranks in Norway, a certain Erling Haaland, it could be a deal for the ages.
