West Ham opted against signing Memphis Depay due to £15m player
West Ham United have had a rather mixed start to their Premier League campaign with a win, a draw and a loss under Julen Lopetegui.
Life under Julen Lopetegui has been pretty good for West Ham fans off the field as new faces were f🍌lying through﷽ the door in the summer months.
Ten players made their way to the English capital, and well over £100 million was spent as the West Ham owners looked to back Lopetegui wi💜th a squad he could challenge for Europe with.
Peter Crouch is impre꧋ssed with the sign♔ing of Max Kilman♌. He claims it’s a better transfer than Pedro Neto’s move to Chelsea this summe🥃r.
He wasn’t the only high-profile signing as Niclas Fullkrug chose to swap C꧂hampions League foo𓂃tball at Borussia Dortmund for West Ham.
Interestingly, it appears as if the Hammers had their eyes on ༒Memphis Depay but one player in particular was a reason behind not mꦗoving for the Dutchman…
£15m West Ham player’s lucrative contract stopped Julen Lopetegui from signing Memphis Depay
Memphis Depay was on Totteham’s radar for large parts of the summer transfer window.
However,🌞 he’s now opted to join Brazilian side Corinthians on a two-year deal, which rules him out of making a return t𝄹o the Premier League.
Interestingly, the Hammers did have a slight interest in signing the attacker, but Danny Ings‘ lucrative contract made it impossible, ac♍cording to .
Ings, who signed for £15 million, remaining at the𒀰 London Stadium on a lucrative contract was a key reason for th𝄹e Hammers opting against a move for Depay.
Do West Ham need an attacker?
Niclas Fullkru🧸g picked up an Achilles heal tendon and calf injury on international duty and the ꦡclub will monitor and scan the injury.
This leaves West Ham with just Michail Antonio and ဣDanny Ings a🍷s Lopetegui’s options at the pinnacle of the attack.
To be fair to Antonio, 𓄧he’s always done well when called upon by the Hammers as the club’s leading all-tim🥀e scorer in the Premier League.
On the other hand, Ings ܫhas been more of a bit-part player in recent times and many expected him to leave in the summer.
