West Ham United have now made their ‘opening offer’ to sign Burnley star Maxwell Cornet with the club already replying, according to journalist Ryan Taylor. Hammers boss David Moyes and head of recruitment Rob Newman are seemingly adopting a scattergun approach to this transfer window as West Ham attempt transfer talks for numerous players.
Lille midfielder Amadou Onana and Eintracht Frankfurt defender Filip Kostic are at the centre of their discussions while the likes of Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski have also been linked.
Cornet has managed to grab West Ham’s attention as well with Moyes seemingly determined to right the wrongs of last season’s transfer doings – or lack thereof – and strengthen in key areas ahead of the Premier League‘s opening weekend.
Taylor of The Daily Express, sharing news on social media, claims the Irons have made their ‘opening offer’ to sign the Clarets star.
