West Ham left scratching their heads over midfielder claim
Reports claiming that West Ham have agreed a deal with Belgian club OH Leuven to sign midfielder Ezechiel Banzuzi appear to be premature.
The proposed agreement, rumoured to be worth £10 million upfront with £3 million in potential add-ons, has been dismissed by ExWHUEmployee today.
Ex has cited a senior source at the London Stadium who insists no deal for the 18-year-old midfielder is close.
Claret & Hugh also received similar information, suggesting that while West Ham may have approached Leuven, the Belgian club is unwilling to sell during this transfer window.
This aligns with information received last night, which indicates that West Ham are not close to completing any immediate signings.
There remains a desire to add pace to the West Ham midfield and Ezechiel Banzuzi certainly seems to have an abundance of athletic ability but as things stand, the club are claiming ignorance on this particular story.
