West Ham enquire about £17m attacking talent likened to Vinicius Jr
West Ham United have reportedly made a big breakthrough on the transfer front and there could be more to come ahead of the January window’s closure.
Multiple journalists and outlets have claimed that the Hammers have agreed a deal with Manchester City for England midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
West Ham may not be done yet, however. Reports linking the Hammers to attacking reinforcements are also doing the rounds.
For instance, Sky Sports last week that West Ham had set their sights on FC Nordsjaelland forward Ibrahim Osman.
And on Tuesday, Ben Jacobs provided a follow-up update, claiming the Hammers had enquired about the 19-year-old and also providing a ballpark price tag.
“Understand West Ham have now (officially) enquired about Nordsjaelland’s 19-year-old forward Ibrahim Osman,” Jacobs wrote on .
“As revealed, Ghanaian also tracked this window by Brighton and Palace. West Ham the most active currently. No offers yet.
“Nordsjaelland expect at least €15m (£13m) and may hold out for €20m (£17m).”
West Ham target Ibrahim Osman likened to Vinicius Jr
It’s good to hear that West Ham seem like the most active club in pursuit of Osman. However, Brighton and Palace could offer stern opposition.
In addition, there have been links between the player and Arsenal, as per a report in from the end of December.
If West Ham manage to get the better of the rival suitors and sign Osman, they’d be getting themselves a very exciting attacking talent.
Osman has already clocked up 39 competitive appearances for Nordsjaelland, registering four goals and five assists.
In terms of his style of play, Jacek Kulig of has compared the reported Hammers target to Real Madrid and Brazil star Vinicius Jr.
Kulig also listed pace, acceleration, dynamism, dribbling, ball control, creativity, agility and bravery as Osman’s main strengths.
All in all, Osman looks like a star in the making. Let’s hope West Ham can intensify their interest and bring in a much-needed attacking addition this month.
