**West Ham are still speaking to Leicester and having positive talks surrounding Mads Hermansen, it’s been reported by ExWHUEmployee.**
It has been reported by our insider that the talks for John Victor have progressed with a deal being close, although there could well be another big twist in this new goalkeeper saga.
“It appears that the Victor John deal is very close to being agreed,” stated Ex on The West Ham Way Patreon. “The transfer terms are almost there and it’s just how the fee will be paid – in terms of break down of instalments.
“The personal terms are said to be close as well. As soon as this is finalised the player will head to London”
This move has came against what the recruitment team and coaching staff want it seems. With Mads Hermansen and Dion Susuki always being their preferred choice. Susuki’s valuation seems to have put us off but there was still hope that we could make one final push to sign Hermansen.”
In what could now be a twist in the situation, it is understood that talks with Leicester City regarding Hermansen have progressed also, with a chance at a possible deal.
“It is thought that then recruitment team want us to try one more time to try and get a deal with Leicester even though the offer we made and what Leicester want were quite far apart talks today seem to be getting closer. We hinted that this could happen in our update yesterday,” added Ex.
“Another interesting twist is that when the top source wouldn’t confirm today that Victor John was on his way. When ask whether it was true that the Brazilian keeper was a “Done Deal” the top source replied “I can’t comment on what may or may not happen. We are trying on all fronts” Which does give a bit of an indication that there could be a last ditch attempt for Hermansen.
“We have also heard from another source that talks have infact continued with Leicester and that there has been positive progress with the deal so there could be another twist of events comings but we will keep you posted. There are also a couple of other keeper targets that could be explored too.”
Whether the club will be able to get a deal sorted with Leicester we shall see but we will keep you updated on all things this window as we have done through our on our Patreon.
