West Ham have launched a new move for a young star named in world’s top 60 talents as report makes Samuel Iling-Junior claim.
West Ham seem determined to get their painfully slow summer transfer window open for business in the last few days.
The only Premier League club without a signing for the first team, the pressure is building on the Hammers with the season just over two weeks away.
West Ham are reported to have made multiple bids for as many as six players in the last 48 hours or so.
So far that has been to no avail.
What has become abundantly clear since the arrival of highly-rated and coveted technical director Tim Steidten at West Ham, is that the German has a very different recruitment philosophy to manager David Moyes.

With a stark contrast in the profile of player being targeted by the pair, West Ham are at something of a transfer stand-off.

That has been confirmed by a senior source inside West Ham speaking exclusively to Hammers News on Wednesday.
There has been yet another bid made for a player now if reports are to be believed.
West Ham have launched a new move for a young star named in world’s top 60 talents as report makes Samuel Iling-Junior claim.
Hammers were linked with £26m bid last month and remain very much interested
Iling-Junior left Chelsea in 2020 to join Juventus. And last month TuttoJuve claimed West Ham were willing to offer £26m to bring him back to London.
When 19-year-old iling-Junior – a flying winger of some repute as a youngster – made the move to Juve he was named in The Guardian’s prestigious ’60 of the best young talents in world football’.
He has already made 18 appearances for the Italian giants despite his tender age and has scored one goal.
Nothing more has been reported on West Ham’s interest since last month, though.
Until now.
Juve could accept £17m claims report
Because West Ham do still want to sign Iling-Junior and have tabled an offer for the England youth international, according to Il Bianconero.
West Ham are reportedly one of three Prem clubs to have made a concrete offer for the winger.
Juventus are said to want £17m for Islington-born Iling-Junior.
He has a contract until 2025 and based on his profile and age it is safe to assume he is very much a target of West Ham’s new technical director Steidten.
Channels of communication are already open between West Ham and Juventus who have held multiple rounds of talks over Swiss midfielder Denis Zakaria.
