West Ham United eye Ibrahim Osman move, he graduated from same academy as Mohammed Kudus
West Ham are eyeing a move for FC Nordsjælland forward Ibrahim Osman in the January transfer window, according to Sky Sports.
The news outlet reported on its live transfer tracker on Monday (15 January, 03:00pm) that the 19-year-old is a product of Ghana’s Right to Dream Academy, which Hammers forward Mohammed Kudus also graduated from.
It comes as the Irons look to add to their attacking options in the January transfer window following injuries sustained by some of their senior players.
Worth a punt
If Osman turns out to be half the player Kudus has proven to be for West Ham in his first few months at the club, then he is definitely worth taking a punt on.
The teenager has probably come onto the Hammers’ radar as technical director Tim Steidten looks to change the way the club recruits players after years of being quite predictable in the transfer market.
The winger has scored four goals and laid on five assists in 29 appearances for the Danish side this season after breaking into their first team.
Although David Moyes is keen to strengthen his attacking options this month, it’s unlikely the Ghanaian would realistically be thrown into the first-team setup immediately.
But it’s encouraging to see that we’re looking at different types of players in order to find someone who could be a future star at the London Stadium.
