Offer ready: West Ham leap ahead of European giants in race to sign £21m forward - report

An Italian report has now shared some promising West Ham United transfer news involving Club Brugge forward Noa Lang.

Hammers boss is reportedly stepping up transfer talks ahead of a crucial 2022/2023 Premier League campaign, coming after his side just fell short of a Europa League qualification place.

It is believed that a striker, central midfielder and left-back are in the Scotsman’s sights above all as club owners GSB are also tasked to back Moyes with crucial West Ham signings.

The east Londoners could also strengthen in other areas, with Calciomercato.it making a promising claim involving Jupiler Pro League star Lang.

According to their information (via Sport Witness), West Ham are now ‘ready to offer’ a €3 million-per-year (£2.5m) salary package to the 22-year-old.

It is also believed that the Irons have jumped ahead of European giants and Serie A winners AC Milan with the Rossoneri now ‘behind’ Moyes in the race for Lang.

If West Ham wish to seal a deal, though, it is believed Brugge won’t part ways with their bright attacker unless they receive a €25m (£21m) bid.

Still young and having seriously impressed in Belgium, we believe the club’s interest is entirely justified.

The starlet notched a brilliant seven goals and 12 assists in the league alone, earning call-ups to the Netherlands squad as a result, with the future certainly looking promising for Lang.

Able to play on either flank and as a centre-forward, his versatility is another reason for West Ham to move ahead with a formal bid as they aim to beat Milan to his signature.
