Two weeks ago, we carried a report from Mundo Deportivo, who explained that West Ham United have initiated negotiations to sign Barcelona’s Moussa Wagué.
The La Liga side took the right-back from KAS Eupen in 2018, and he spent his first season with the Catalan club’s B team.
Last summer, Ernesto Valverde promoted him to the first team, but the right-back failed to impress, which is why the Blaugrana allowed him to spend the second half of the season on loan at OGC Nice.
The Senegal international didn’t have time to impress in France because Ligue 1 was cancelled due to the global health crisis.
Wagué’s failure to shine at Barcelona has seen Quique Setién’s side make him available in the transfer market.
It’s claimed West Ham are one of the sides who have shown ‘most interest’ in the fullback.
Mundo end their report by stating ‘Barca is about to close a transfer’, making it sound like Wagué is very close to a transfer.
