Should West Ham offer Sebastien Haller in Moussa Dembele pursuit?
West Ham United are said to be keen on signing Moussa Dembele from Lyon.
the Hammers are after bolstering their frontline, with the former Celtic ace a top target.
It is thought that Dembele, who has made just four starts for his club this term, could be sold by Lyon – who would apparently be looking for around £30 million.
West Ham were very quiet in the last transfer window and should have money to spend on new recuits in the next window.
That said, there is potential for the board to potentially save money with any deal for Dembele.
One thing that could be worth exploring for the Hammers if they really wanted to get the Frenchman in, is the idea of offering Sebastien Haller as part of any deal.
The star, who joined for a club-record fee of £45 million last year (), has struggled in English football and the club may see getting Dembele in as an opportunity to try and offload the 26-year-old at the same time.
TBR’s View – Haller has had chances
Haller, who is set to debut for the Ivory Coast over the international break, has had lots of chances for West Ham but has struggled to convince.
Perhaps it isn’t entirely his fault – what made him so great at Eintracht Frankfurt was the fact he played in a partnership with Luka Jovic, and in London he’s mostly had to lead the line alone.
He’s getting chances now because Michail Antonio is injured, but if things don’t pick up for him then West Ham should surely consider offering him to Lyon.
If the French club are going to lose Dembele, they may like the idea of getting Haller – who has five goals in 2020/21, four of which have come in the EFL Cup – as part of the deal.
It is something that could see West Ham could potentially save money which can be used to land a new defender.
