West Ham are being linked with an incredibly exciting move to sign Barcelona sensation Ansu Fati.
Interestingly, West Ham United allegedly tried to sign Ansu Fati from Barcelona before, back in 2020.

The Hammers really need a blockbuster signing this summer – an attacker with skill and pace to burn.
And it seems as though David Moyes could be set to go back in for Barca wonderkid Fati…
West Ham handed huge Ansu Fati boost
According to The Athletic, Fati should prepare for the worst because it will take a miracle for him to remain at Barca beyond the end of the summer transfer window.
When Fati burst onto the scene at with Barcelona four years ago, he was labelled as the ‘new Messi’ (talkSPORT).
However, his form has really dropped off over the past years or so, with injuries having wreaked havoc with his progress.
In spite of that, Fati is still an unbelievably talented young player.
The 20-year-old possesses electric pace, exceptional skill and a really intelligent football brain that defies his tender years.
He has bagged 29 goals and 10 assists in 109 games for Barcelona (Transfermarkt) – a pretty decent return for someone so young.
Forbes claim that he could be available for around €70 million (£60 million) this summer.
In fairness I can’t see David Moyes paying anywhere near that amount to bring him to the London Stadium this summer.
However, if Barcelona truly are so keen to move Ansu Fati on, I wouldn’t be surprised one little bit if West Ham were able to pick him up for half that fee in the summer transfer window.
