For a long time, Edson Alvarez has been on Newcastle United’s radar. Now he is on his way to the Premier League, but not to sign for the Magpies.
With less than a week to go until the new Premier League season kicks off, West Ham United are finally closing in on their first signing of the summer, as they look set to land the Declan Rice replacement that they are desperate for.
It has been a miserable summer for the Hammers so far, that has included missing out on Harvey Barnes to Newcastle.
But their main priority has been a centre-midfielder following the £105million departure of Rice. They have tried and failed to bring in James Ward-Prowse, but it looks like they are going to be more successful with their interest in Alvarez.
Edson Alvarez to sign for West Ham
According to Fabrizio Romano, Alvarez is going to leave Ajax and sign for West Ham. He states that David Moyes’ side have agreed a deal worth between £34million and £35million for the Mexico international, who has already agreed personal terms with the Hammers.
