West Ham United are set to sign striker Sebastien Haller.
According to Football.London, West Ham United are set to announce Sebastien Haller’s arrival on Thursday after he passed his medical with the club.
The Hammers have been seeking a big-money centre forward for Manuel Pellegrini, and have made Haller their top target after missing out on Maxi Gomez.
A move for Haller looked unlikely last week, but West Ham appear to have convinced him to join, and it’s believed that he has now passed a medical ahead of his club-record €45million (£40million) move.
It’s even added that West Ham found some late issues with Haller’s agent, but have ironed those out, meaning the move will now go ahead.
The 25-year-old will allegedly be confirmed as a West Ham player on Thursday, in what looks to be an absolutely perfect move by the Hammers.
Haller is a big, physical and aerially-dominant striker, who can lead the line perfectly whilst bringing the likes of Felipe Anderson, Manuel Lanzini and Pablo Fornals into the game.
Last season, he showed his ability as a goalscorer and as a creator with 15 goals and nine assists to his name,
numbers which will give West Ham belief that they have secured an all-round forward.
It’s another exciting deal for West Ham after the signing of Fornals, and fans may actually be happier with the signing of Haller than if Gomez had arrived.
