There’s a theme building in the wilder outreaches of the Spanish rumour media, and it’s that West Ham are a ‘nouveau riche’ club and can sign players from La Liga’s best.
Yes, it may be news to the club’s suffering supporters, but as far as the Spanish rumour pushers are concerned: West Ham have money and are fair game for big links.
Hammers fans will likely have noticed rumours linking them to Yerry Mina over the past couple of days, with the idea being he’d arrive on loan from Barcelona.
Well, Diario Gol have taken a step to out-nonsense that, and now link Karim Benzema.
‘Benzema has an offer from the nouveau riche’ say Diairio Gol, and that’s West Ham.
Whilst a Real Madrid exit isn’t ruled out, it’s stated the club’s president Florentino Perez would require €60m for the 30 year old.
Nobody wants to pay that… apart from West Ham. Yep, it’s claimed West Ham are ‘willing to pay €60m’ for the player.
It’s also claimed there’s a determination that if West Ham save themselves, then they’ll be aiming for the higher reaches of the Premier League next season.
David Moyes believes the striker would be ‘a great addition to the project’ and whilst Benzema’s initial answer is ‘no’, it’s explained it may not be his final answer. First the Frenchman wants to see what else West Ham have planned for the transfer window.
This isn’t going to stop, expect West Ham to be linked with a whole string of La Liga players, before a new club is picked and it all starts again.
