David Moyes’s West Ham United are reportedly trying to get a deal done for Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.
Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that West Ham United are trying to agree personal terms with Manchester United central defender Harry Maguire.
Exciting Harry Maguire update for West Ham United fans
The Italian journalist has claimed that talks between West Ham and Maguire over a move in the summer transfer window are going on.
Romano has added that West Ham are on the verge of signing midfielder James Ward-Prowse from Southampton.
Earlier this week, BBC Sport reported that West Ham have agreed a £30 million deal with Premier League rivals Manchester United over the signing of Maguire this summer.
The report claimed that Maguire is keen on a move to London Stadium, but it added that the £200,000-a-week (SalarySport) defender had not agreed personal terms with the Hammers.
And Romano’s tweet suggests that the Hammers are progressing on that front.
Maguire’s reported willingness to join West Ham is very exciting for the London club.
The England international is a very good defender who would make the Hammers better and stronger at the back.
Maguire may not have been a huge success at Manchester United, but we know that he does well for England and did well at Leicester City.
The defender can be relied upon, and under manager David Moyes, he could get his confidence back.
Maguire has been criticised a lot at Manchester United, and maybe that has affected his confidence.
What the defender needs is a manager who has faith in him and will give him a run of games.
Maguire has made 219 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The defender has scored 11 goals, given eight assists and kept 56 clean sheets in those matches.
