West Ham United have been linked with numerous players late on in the transfer window, with deadline day fast approaching.
David Moyes signed Kalvin Phillips to West Ham during the January transfer window, but before tomorrow’s 11 p.m. deadline, it’s thought that he will also be looking to recruit an attacker.
Although the Hammers boss has a very strong team at his disposal, we could reach a completely new level if we recruit one or two more players over the course of the next 36 hours.
Valentin Carboni, an 18-year-old player from Inter Milan who is now on loan at Monza, has been strongly connected to a move to the London Stadium this month. The Hammers have had many bids for the player turned down.
And Inter Live has now given a status report on the matter. According to the Italian media, West Ham will need to invest a lot of money if we want to sign Carboni this month.
West Ham told to spend big to sign player before deadline day
Two proposals from the Hammers for Carboni, who is reportedly valued at €10 million (£8.5 million) and €15 million (£12.8 million), have been reported by Inter Live.
Still, Inter wants a staggering €35 million (£30 million) from West Ham in exchange for the adolescent Argentine, so it won’t be enough to complete the deal.
That’s definitely not what the Hammers will spend for an 18-year-old in this window, so we might have to wait until the summer to finalise the deal.
Currently on loan from Monza, this talented player has already scored two goals and provided three assists in Serie A this year.
According to a recent remark from Sempre Inter, Monza manager Raffaele Palladino praised Carboni, calling him a “jewel.”
“We need to safeguard talent. Carboni is truly a gem. He’s prepared to show his value now. We’re discussing a really serious young man, so I’m not concerned about the media attention.
Carboni has amazing technique for a young player and has the ability to develop into one of the game’s biggest stars.
It would be intriguing to observe his development during the upcoming months in Italy. He won’t be signed by West Ham by tomorrow night at 11 p.m. for the reported fee, but maybe we can try to get him to East London in the summer.
