West Ham and Fulham have the chance to bring in some new faces this summer
West Ham and Fulham are ‘ready’ to move for Atalanta loanee Yunus Musah this summer, according to MilanLive. The London pair are being linked with a swoop for the Serie A man in the next transfer window. He was loaned out by AC Milan last year and his long-term future at the San Siro is up in the air.
The Hammers are in a relegation battle at the moment. They are in the bottom three with Wolves and Burnley. As for the Cottagers, they are comfortably mid-table under Marco Silva.
West Ham and Fulham eye Yunus Musah
West Ham need to preserve their Premier League status before they can start thinking about recruitment. If they stay up, Musah would give them more competition and depth in the middle of the park. He would give them something different to pick from in midfield.
Musah, 23, was on the books at Arsenal from 2012 to 2019. The USA international, who has 47 caps to his name, joined Valencia from the Gunners and went on to make 108 appearances in all competitions during his days in Spain, chipping in with five goals. He then signed for AC Milan in 2023.
He has since made 82 outings for the Serie A giants but was given the green light to head out the exit door on a temporary basis in September last year. The New York-born man has since made 19 outings for Atalanta. However, his long-term situation is up in the air right now amid attention from elsewhere.
What now for West Ham?
West Ham lost 5-2 to Liverpool on Saturday in a dent to their survival hopes. Speaking afterwards, Nuno Espirito Santo said: “It's difficult to explain. Maybe it is absurd to say that it is a good performance when you lose 5-2.
"But there's a lot of positive in our game. A lot of negatives also. But you go off at half-time and you have your players in front of you and you say: 'Boys you are playing good, but we are losing three zero'. We create a lot of situations and we combine well, but we really made mistakes on our set-pieces. The three goals come from corners.
"I think the second half we started well. We scored early and we created problems for Liverpool. Things that can change the game. Being in front of you guys and saying that is a good performance, maybe sounds really silly from myself, but I saw a team that didn't give up, believed that it had a chance in the game, but we go home with a poor result."
