Hammers boss David Moyes needs to bolster his central midfield ranks at the London Stadium in the summer transfer window.
And the 28-year-old powerhouse would have been the ideal upgrade on Tomas Soucek.
However, it seems as though the Hammers are set to miss out on someone who would have taken us to another level in my opinion…
West Ham to miss out on summer transfer with 28-year-old ‘destroyer’ close to joining Saudi club
James Berge reckons that Fofana is close to joining Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr this summer.
It’s such a shame that we didn’t win the race for Fofana’s signature.
He has the ability to get up and down the pitch and always contributes both inside the final third and defensively.
The Ivory Coast international bagged seven goals and five assists in 35 Ligue 1 games for Lens last season. During those outings, he averaged 50.3 passes per game and recorded a completion rate of 89.3% (Who Scored).
The 28-year-old has been described as a midfielder creator, dynamo and destroyer by GFFN.
Seko Fofana is an elite midfielder and undoubtedly would have been tremendous for West Ham.
Unfortunately for us though, the Ivory Coast international now seems to be Saudi bound. And that really is a big blow for West Ham and our summer transfer plans as far as I’m concerned.
