West Ham are in talks with a 25-year-old forward on deadline…..

West Ham United are reportedly now in talks to sign a forward very late on transfer deadline day.

Deadline day is approaching its conclusion, and West Ham are still trying to get a late deal done, with talks to sign Ismaila Sarr thought to be underway.

Hammers boss David Moyes has signed Kalvin Phillips in the January transfer window but that’s nowhere near enough, if we are to challenge for the top six in the Premier League this season.

Our squad lacks any kind of attacking depth, and we’ll get found out in the end if no additions are made, I have no doubts about that.

However, it seems as though the club are doing their best to change all of that before 11pm tonight…

According to Dean Jones, the Hammers are in talks to sign Ismaila Sarr, 25, from Marseille.

The thing is, I would take Sarr purely because he’d be another body that we so desperately need.

Said Benrahma is gone whilst Pablo Fornals seems all set to join Real Betis. If Moyes fails to bring anyone through the door before the transfer window slams shut, it would have been a really poor window for the Hammers.

West Ham are apparently in talks to sign Sarr on deadline day and if we can get that deal done, it will be a late consolation for the Hammers fans.

Sarr has only been at Marseille for six months, and has bagged four goals and two assists in 21 games for them (Transfermarkt). He possesses real pace and power, and would offer us something completely different if nothing else.

West Ham identify exciting winger but Journalist shoots down links – “never going to materialise”

West Ham United have been linked with Marseille ace Ismaila Sarr during the January transfer window as they search for attacking reinforcements. But transfer insider Dean Jones, speaking has revealed why the move was never going to materialise.

The prospect of achieving European football for the third consecutive season is becoming increasingly tangible in East London following an expensive yet impressive transfer window. Despite shelling out around £117 million on new arrivals, the club’s lofty expenditure has proven to be worthwhile, yielding results.

And they have been linked with a cluster of players to keep the feel-good factor going.

Not only Ismaila Sarr, but there have been numerous names rumoured to be admired by David Moyes and his recruitment staff during this January transfer window. Ibrahim Osman, Willy Gnonto, Jota, and Hugo Ekitike, who has since joined Eintracht Frankfurt, were all reportedly considered as options alongside the Senegal international.

Sarr, who has tallied four goals and two assists so far this season, has attracted interest from the Hammers due to limited opportunities to impress in France’s top flight. Starting just eight league games this season, Nottingham Forest and Villarreal have also been credited with an interest in his services.

However, Jones has suggested that all avenues West Ham have explored have ended up being a “dead end,” especially regarding Sarr, a player whom the transfer insider believes would appeal to the Hammers.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “It’s been a long old month for West Ham with every avenue they have explored turning out to be a dead end. Even late in the afternoon today they were looking at opportunities, and one of those was Sarr.”
