Thoughts on West Ham’s £25 million acquisition that might be advantageous for Newcastle United
West Ham United has been active in the transfer market this summer and has the potential to be a formidable force in the Premier League the following year.
Crysencio Summerville, a talented young player for Leeds United, was signed by the Hammers on Saturday for a fee of £25 million after they defeated stiff opposition.
In the meantime, Newcastle United is negotiating a huge transfer for Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace and will try to add a winger of their own before the transfer window ends.
The Magpies may benefit from West Ham’s acquisition of Crysencio Summerville, who was connected to Newcastle.
Earlier this summer, Jarrod Bowen was linked to Newcastle.
Jarrod Bowen of West Ham was linked to Newcastle early in the transfer season, but the Hammers insisted that Bowen was not for sale.
So now that it appears they’ve found a replacement, it’s possible they’re willing to let Bowen go.
Although it seems doubtful that they would sell him cheaply, what are the chances that Newcastle was also planning to play the long game with Bowen if they had been eyeing Guehi for some time and were prepared to break their transfer record to sign him?
