West Ham United table £7.6m offer for Ludogrets striker Ruan Seko
West Ham United have tabled a bid worth £7.6million for Ludogrets striker Ruan Seko, according to Tema Sport.
Writing on their website (3 June), the Bulgarian news outlet report that the 23-year-old striker is a target for several clubs in Europe this summer after 19 goals in 50 appearances for the club this season.
But while the Hammers have made their offer, Ludogrets currently have no intention of accepting as they believe they can earn more after receiving “serious offers” from clubs looking to seal his signature.
West Ham United desperate to bolster the attack
It’s clear that the priority of Julen Lopetegui and Tim Steidten this summer is to strengthen the attack, with several players already being linked.
Wilfried Zaha is said to be a major target, a bid has reportedly been tabled for Grady Diangana and a deal for Luis Guilherme was all but done until it collapsed at the last minute.
But with Danny Ings targeted by Southampton, Michail Antonio wanted by Saudi and MLS clubs and Lucas Paqueta potentially facing a lengthy ban, the club is facing being short on attacking options if they don’t add to the squad.
Steidten has always been very good at identifying talent and the 23-year-old Brazilian had a brilliant season in Bulgaria this season, but the step up to the Premier League would be huge.
He can’t be the only addition but having him as an option in attack can’t be a bad thing, especially for a fee that seems more than reasonable.
