- وست هام eyeing move for Jurrien Timber’s brother
- Show interest in فينورد‘s Quinten
- Potter wants to sign two midfielders
وفق صحيفة الغارديان West Ham were earlier looking to sign Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes from ساوثهامبتون but their pursuit of the 21-year-old has hit a roadblock as the Saints are unwilling to let the youngster leave, as they aim to return to the top division this season. The only way the Hammers can convince Southampton is by matching their asking price of £50 million ($67m).
The report adds that Potter wants to add at least two midfielders to his existing squad, one who can stay deep and another who can control the game at the centre of the park. West Ham had also approached برشلونة for Marc Casado, but that transfer looks unlikely, and they are instead eyeing Jurrien’s brother Quinten.
Quinten Timber has won five caps for the هولندا and has played for Feyenoord since 2022. His brother has been at أرسنال since 2023 and has battled back from an ACL injury to become a first-team regular under Mikel Arteta.
West Ham will be back in action in the الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز this Friday as they host Enzo Maresca’s تشيلسي.
