West Ham United are showing strong interest in one Man United star. The Red Devils are desperate to sell the player. But, it will not be easy for Hammers to sign him from their Premier League rivals.
The star in question here is Jadon Sancho. He is 25 years old winger who had a difficult time at Old Trafford. He was sent on loan to Dortmund ar first. Later, he was sent to Chelsea on loan last season. Now, he is back at United but is unlikely to stay there beyond this summer.
Chelsea had an obligation to buy Sancho for £25 million. But, they opted against it by paying £5 million penalty fee. The Red Devils are also unwilling to keep Sancho. As a result, they have made him available in the transfer market. Now, another English club is keen to use Sancho’s services.
West Ham keen to sign Sancho but it won’t be easy
According to ESPN, Hammers are showing strong interest in Sancho. The player can be very open to joining them but the report adds that it will not be very easy. Hammers will need to break their wage structure in order to land Sancho.
The 25 year old earns hefty wages at Man United. He has not been at his best in recent seasons. Hence, no club is willing to match those figure. This can result in West Ham dropping their interest to sign him as they need filling in multiple areas.
Sancho is unwilling to take wage-cut causing the problem for interested clubs. Infact, Chelsea were open to make him their permanent player. But, they wanted the 25 year old to lower his wages. Sancho didn’t agree to that and hence the Blues parted ways with him. It will be interesting to see what’s next in his career.
