As if there hadn’t been enough twists and turns in the wonderful world of **West Ham** news today, another bolt from the blue has arrived from ExWHUEmployee.
I can only speak for myself when I say that I’d pretty much given up all hope of signing either Zion Suzuki or Mads Hermansen. After all, Sky Sports and Fabrizio Romano were both pretty much reporting a done deal for Botafogo’s [John Victor](https://www.claretandhugh.info/romano-west-ham-advanced-talks-for-transfer-target/) earlier today.
West Ham had agreed terms with the player and the club and it was ‘here we go’ time… or at least that’s what we were told.
However, within the last hour (and a bit), Ex and esteemed journalist Henry Winter have reported that a deal with Hermansen could be back on. Reports seem to suggest a deal with Leicester City is getting closer and personal terms have been agreed between player and club.
To be honest, it’s all become rather confusing—a bit of a magician’s three-card trick and just as hard to follow. However, if the reports do turn out to be true, then it would appear the bid for Victor was nothing but smoke and mirrors, with Hermansen hiding up Potter’s wizard’s sleeve all along.
Honestly, at this point I don’t have a scooby what’s happening, but we might have all been played like a fiddle and got our knickers in a twist over nothing at all.
DG would say, “Don’t go to bed”. In this instance you probably can, but don’t expect to wake up to the same story tomorrow. . . you’ll probably find we’ve signed Lukas Fabianski.
