West Ham United are tempting Viktoria Plzeň’s Rafiu Durosinmi over a move in the winter market, according to Czech source iSport.
The striker has scored 13 goals from 30 matches in all competitions, and his displays have caught West Ham’s attention.
This was initially reported in the UK. It was stated that West Ham have sent an offer of £12m [€13.8m] to Viktoria Plzeň.
This is relayed by iSport, who then provide their own updates on the Hammers’ pursuit of the 22-year-old.
West Ham have indeed tabled a bid, and it has arrived at the Czech club. The fee proposed is ‘significantly lower’ than what was reported in the UK press.
West Ham offer far too low for Rafiu Durosinmi
It’s claimed Nuno Espírito Santo’s side have offered €5m for the frontman and this is said to be ‘unacceptable’ for Viktoria Plzeň. There’s no mention of their demand or the range that’s acceptable to them.
Durosinmi, for his part, is tempted to make a switch to the Premier League. According to iSport, ‘he has a promise’ from Viktoria Plzeň to sanction his sale to a top league as long as there’s a convincing offer.
The outlet believes Durosinmi isn’t an absolute priority for West Ham in January. He’s one of their targets and there are other names ahead of him. This suggests the Hammers are unlikely to increase their offer significantly.
