West Ham United learn asking price for Jayden Oosterwolde in fresh transfer twist
Fenerbahce will “open the door” for Jayden Oosterwolde to leave the club for £16.6million in January amid interest from West Ham United, according to Sabah.
The Turkish newspaper reported via their website on Thursday [14 November] that the Irons, as well as Crystal Palace and Roma, are eyeing a move for the left-back in winter despite him being sidelined for the rest of the season.
Fenerbahce will consider offers in the region of £16.6million after previously being unwilling to sell the 23-year-old [Fanatik, 11 October].
West Ham United told to pay £16.6m for Jayden Oosterwolde in fresh twist
The Turkish giants were claimed to have no plans to sell Oosterwolde in January, with Jose Mourinho said to be a huge fan of him.
However, their stance appears to have changed after the Dutchman suffered a cruciate ligament injury in their 2-2 draw with Samsunspor on 20 October.
This is possibly because Fenerbahce want to cash in on the full-back, who can also play centre-back, while his value is still high, which is highlighted by the Irons, Palace and Roma’s interest in him.
The Hammers have two senior left-backs in their ranks – Emerson and Aaron Cresswell. However, with both of them now in their 30s, it is time for an upgrade.
It is, therefore, easy to see why West Ham are interested in Oosterwolde, whose strengths include dribbling, tackling and concentration, as per WhoScored.
It now remains to be seen if the East London outfit are prepared to fork out £16.6million for a player who is unlikely to be available until next season, especially since they are also targeting a striker in January [The Times].
