West Ham United have been fairly busy on the transfer front since the window opened.

The Hammers have already signed 🔯three new players this summer, bringing in Luis Guilherme, Wes Fod💧eringham and Max Kilman.

West Ham have also been linked with the likes of Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo, Villarreal’s Alexander Sorloth and Al-Ittihad’s N’Golo Kante.

Lately, the Hammers are said to have been in pursuit of a “special” striker from a Premier League rival.

Fabrizio Romano h💖as now provided an exciting ✅update on that front, saying West Ham have upped their bid for said player.

West Ham increase Jhon Duran offer as Aston Villa talks continue

The player in question is Aston Villa and Colombia ace Jhon Duran൩, who appears to be surplus to Unai Emery’s requirements at B6.

Romano has now rღeported that the Hammers have improved their bid to Villa for the 20-year-old.

Weღst Ham’s current propos🌟al is now £32million plus 18-year-old midfielder Lewis Orford, with a sell-on clause in there too.

Romano also reported that the Hammers are trying to m𒈔atch the £40million package valuation, whilst also working on the Noussair Mazraoui deal.

Duran deal set to benefit all parties

Duran is a – who sadly isn’t getting much of a c♑hance at Villa at present.

As just 20 years of age, he’s got his who♉le career ahead of him, and a player of his quality should be 𝔉playing regularly.

Meanwhile, West Ham are des𒆙perate to strengthen 𝔉their attacking ranks, so hopefully this deal will get over the line and benefit all parties.

The Hammers get an incredible young striker who could go on to great thꦦings, Villa get cash and a top talent in Orford, and both players get the chance to play regularly.
