ExWHUemployee: West Ham hold talks to sign 'scary' 47-cap 'freak' after price plummets by £50m

Reliable club insider ExWHUemployee has now shared some West Ham United transfer news involving Watford winger Ismaila Sarr.

Irons head coach David Moyes looks set to be a ‘very busy’ man this summer as the Scotsman sets his sights on ‘at least’ six new additions for the 2022/2023 Premier League season.

That is according to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth, who recently explained that West Ham are by no means done in the summer market after securing a deal to sign defender Nayef Aguerd from Rennes.

Moyes is now believed to be prioritising a new forward to upgrade his attacking areas further up the pitch with Ex sharing news on the club’s links to Sarr.

Indeed, West Ham’s credible source and in-the-know now has an update for Hammers supporters involving the 47-cap international attacker.

He claims, via his Patreon, that the club have ‘had talks’ over signing Sarr for Moyes with one source of his believing the deal is ’70 percent done’.

Former England goalkeeper Ben Foster perhaps summed up Sarr’s quality recently by calling him ‘scary’ and a ‘bit of a freak’.

When the 24-year-old is fit and available, this is evident by his numbers, with no Watford player drawing more fouls per 90 than Sarr over 2021/2022 (WhoScored).

Watford’s sky-high £80 million valuation of Sarr last year has also plummeted this summer with Jeunesfooteux now claiming he could leave Vicarage Road for just €35m (£30m) after their relegation,

West Ham must surely consider taking full advantage and backing
