West Ham United misses goal

Julen Lopetegui The team has enjoyed some relief in the Premier League in recent weeks, with a win over Wolves and subsequent draws with strong sides Bournemouth and Brighton.

The arrivals of Max Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo have yet to have the desired effect at the London Stadium and Lopetegui remains under intense pressure with his side currently in 14th place, one point below Manchester United. The relegation zone is only 8 points. We are halfway through the campaign.

This is according to a new report from Italy, which claims Hammers ready to bid £25m to sign Fikayo Tomori January. The England international has fallen down the starting pecking order at the San Siro, starting just six games this season and has not been named in the starting XI for more than two months.

Although he still has two and a half years left in his term £71,000 per week It is claimed that he could leave as early as the January transfer window as Milan look to cash in before his value drops further.

To this end, it is said that “Newcastle, Aston Villa and West Ham are ready to come forward” and offer to bring the former Chelsea player back to England in the coming weeks, while “Milan are demanding €30 million.” Way with defenders.

This is a major fall from grace for Tomori, Called “better than (Matisse) De Ligt” When he first arrived at San Siro it was former Italy defender Paolo Zigliani.
