Exclusive: £40m Striker ‘Ready to Agitate for Move’ to West Ham

West Ham United have not lost hope of luring Jhon Duran to the London Stadium as the Aston Villa star is on course to agitate for a summer switch if his current employers refuse to lower their price tag ahead of the transfer window slamming shut, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

The Hammers’ hierarchy have not been afraid to back new head coach Julen Lopetegui with funds since being appointed as Europa Conference League-winning boss David Moyes’ successor, with Max Kilman completing the £40million switch from Wolverhampton Wanderers to seal a reunion with the Spanish tactician.

Luis Guilherme has also arrived in a £25million deal from Palmeiras, while Wes Foderingham made the move to the capital after his Sheffield United contract expired, but technical director Tim Steidten has been tasked with bringing in further reinforcements ahead of the August 30 deadline.

Duran has refused to rule out the possibility of pushing for a switch to West Ham if his admirers are left frustrated by another bid being rejected by Villa, according to GMS sources, as he is determined to ensure that he is not priced out of a move when he has been forced to contend with limited game time.
