West Ham better placed to complete signing than competition – Club ‘working’ to send player to PL

Three days ago, Calciomercato reported AC Milan have an interest in signing Barcelona’s Junior Firpo in the summer transfer window.

It was also explained the Serie A side must battle with West Ham United as the Hammers are ‘particularly interested’ in the left-back who lost prominence at the Camp Nou last season.

Mundo Deportivo now claim Stefano Pioli’s side want to take the 24-year-old on a loan deal, something that isn’t appreciated at the Camp Nou, especially when they need funds through player sales.

Therefore, the Spanish club are ‘working’ to sell the defender to the Premier League, where West Ham are named as a suitor.

It’s claimed there are a few ‘open fronts on which the Catalan club are advancing’, and among them is David Moyes’ side.

The London based club are those who have ‘more options’ to sign the former Real Betis man because they will play in the Europa League next season.

According to the report, the Hammers are ‘attentive’ of the Dominican’s profile and situation at Barcelona.

West Ham are in favour of signing Junior on a permanent deal [unlike Milan who want him on loan], and with Ronald Koeman’s side ‘working’ to send the player to England, a deal is there to be concluded.
