West Ham’s recruitment has been impressive.
West Ham’s impressive move for Issa Diop has been a big success so far.
The £22 million signing from Toulouse is worth nearly three times that figure now, Football London report, amid fresh interest from Manchester United.
Diop was praised last season by former United boss Jose Mourinho, who told Sky Sports: “Congratulations to the scout that found a 21-year-old kid Diop. A monster who dominated in the duels.”
Well West Ham are busy this summer already trying to show that Diop is not a one off.
They appear to have struck gold already, with a deal for Villarreal star Pablo Fornals.
The 23-year-old midfielder clinched his move last week, and it is a deal which will soon be making teams like Manchester United jealous too.
Fornals arrives at the club with Europa League experience and netted five goals and provided six assists last season.
He is a player who has just scratched the surface of his potential. His move to West Ham is a brave one, and reflects well on both him and the club.
Hammers fans should be excited that Diop and Fornals are the beginning in a long line of exciting and shrewd transfer coups to be made by the club in years to come.
