Welcome Edson !
Finally, we are apparently about to of seal our first a major transfer deal of the summer according to positive reports , as Edson Alvarez is coming to the London Stadium to have his medical and sign on the dotted line.
A lot has been written about our lack of success in the summer transfer window and fingers have been pointed at who to blame.
Being charitable, apportioning blame doesn’t really help anybody because what is done, is done. But hopefully lessons will have been learned.
Let us hope that once one player is in the door, the dam will finally burst and more will follow.
I for one, am will be very pleased should he arrive as our new signing would be a class act, and at 25, he fits the age and profile West Ham should be searching for as we continue to build the team.
The hopefully soon to be ex-Serie A man, will cost about €25m with about €5m in add ons.
Notwithstanding the horror show yesterday against Leverkusen, this is at least a step in the right direction.
