West Ham United are interested in signing Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez.
The Mexican international, 25, has already been linked with a move to the Premier League, and it would be interesting to see whether West Ham can capture his signature.
According to Football Insider, West Ham are now in talks with the player’s representation, who have suggested that the 25-year-old is open to a summer move.
After the loss of Declan Rice, the Hammers need to sign a quality midfielder this summer, and the 25-year-old may be an excellent addition.
The Mexican has established his worth with Ajax in the Dutch league and in European games, and he has the potential to do well at West Ham as well. He will provide defensive protection as well as physicality to West Ham’s midfield. He is also versatile enough to play as a central defender.
Next season, the Hammers will compete in the Europa League and will require greater players. The opportunity to play in the Premier League may also be appealing to the Mexican midfielder.
West Ham have the funds to complete the transfer, especially after sanctioning a club-record agreement to sell Declan Rice.
It will be intriguing to see if Ajax is willing to allow the Mexican to leave this summer.
Alvarez will almost certainly want to join a big club capable of winning major trophies, but a transfer to West Ham would not be a bad idea either.
He is only 25 years old, and if he can impress in the Premier League with West Ham, he might land a huge move in the near future.
