For £16 million, West Ham United need to go after Amadou Diawara.

Sky Sports claimed last week that West Ham United had bid £13 million for Eibar midfielder Joan Jordan.

The Spaniard is a destroyer and it looks like Manuel Pellegrini might want to beef up his midfield.

But for another £3 million, West Ham could sign a far better player: Amadou Diawara.

According to CalcioNapoli24, Diawara could leave the Italian outfit for just £16 million this summer and whoever gets him is going to get one hell of a bargain.

In modern football, £16 million is peanuts and especially for a talent like Diawara, who is only 21 and will get a lot better in the coming years.

Jordan is three years older and although he’s a tidy player, Diawara is such a better option.

Tuttomercatoweb claimed in January that West Ham wanted the Guinea international and, truthfully, he’ll never be cheaper than he is now.

It’s now or never for the Irons. On a footballing and business level, Diawara, who could have a crazy re-sale value if he impresses in the Premier League, makes a lot more sense than Jordan.
