West Ham fans on Twitter feel they should also push for rumoured Everton target Fikayo Tomori, who is seemingly heading to Goodison Park on loan.
ESPN have reported that the Toffees are in advanced talks to sign Tomori from Chelsea on a season-long loan deal.
Some West Ham fan have either voiced their concern of teams doing business around them, whilst they do nothing, or actually wanting their club to push for Tomori’s signature as well, especially given that he’s a player from London and it’s a loan deal.
Whilst teams around West Ham, such as Everton (James Rodriguez, Allan, Abdoulaye Doucoure), Aston Villa (Matty Cash & Ollie Watkins), and Newcastle (Callum Wilson, Ryan Fraser & Jamal Lewis) strengthen their squads, they are yet to make real moves in the market.
Instead, the previously unpopular West Ham board have made themselves even more hated by the now pretty vocal Hammers faithful by selling their star academy player in Grady Diangana.
West Ham captain Mark Noble expressed his anger at the deal [BBC Sport] and it’s a feeling, a growing feeling, that can be felt across the Claret & Blue side of London.
West Ham’s record transfers
- Sebastien Haller
£45 million
- Felipe Anderson
£41.5 million
- Marko Arnautovic
£25 million
- Pablo Fornals
£24 million
- Issa Diop
£22 million
A signing such as Tomori would be needed at the London Stadium, especially given that the club are also top-heavy in the attacking third – they have had two bids, the latest being £27 million, rejected by Burnley for James Tarkowski [Daily Mail].
More depth in quality and competition is needed for Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna, and a player like Tomori would help elevate the side.
Nonetheless, here is a selection of West Ham fans reacting to Everton’s links with Tomori:
