West Ham United: Celtic target Ardon Jashari makes transfer decision
West Ham and Celtic target Ardaon Jashari completed his move to Club Brugge this week, according to Voetbal Nieuws.
The Dutch media outlet reported on 5 April that the 21-year-old completed his transfer which cost Brugge £5million.
He was linked to a number of clubs including the Hoops and Hammers but did not move to the United Kingdom.
West Ham can do better than Jashari
While Jashari was linked with clubs like the Hammers, it doesn’t appear that the Hammers made a genuine effort to secure his signature.
The focus seems to have been more on high-profile targets, as indicated by their pursuit of other players.
Additionally, Jashari’s move to Club Brugge for £5million suggests that he may not have been seen as a priority for the London outfit, who might have been seeking more established or high-priced midfield options.
Considering Jashari’s age and relatively modest transfer fee compared to other rumoured targets, it’s unlikely that he would have immediately strengthened their starting lineup.
Even though the 21-year-old has potential and could develop into a quality player in the future, his signing might not have been a top priority.
Should he develop into a serious talent in the future, there is a good chance that the Hammers rekindle their interest in him.
