Nothing says a player is close to joining West Ham United like giving the obligatory crossed hammers on his social media page.
And that is precisely what West Ham’s prospective new striker Jhon Duran has done on his Instagram page as a teaser to all Hammers fans who have been hurriedly refreshing their browsers this evening.
The Aston Villa forward is reportedly close to signing for the Hammers in a deal worth a reported £40 million. Clearly, the Colombian cannot contain his excitement as he took to social media to signal his less than subtle intentions.
The move is sure to delight West Ham fans and frustrate Villa fans in equal measure. They will now surely be relieved to see the back of the troublesome scoundrel.
Hopefully, the move by the 20-year-old striker won’t curse the deal, and perhaps the Instagram post suggests the deal is further along than we’ve been led to believe.
