West Ham United is on the verge of securing two new signings this summer to strengthen their squad for the upcoming Premier League season. Julen Lopetegui’s side is reportedly close to finalizing a deal for Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran, with negotiations ongoing over the details of the transfer.
The Hammers have reportedly offered £30m plus a young player for Duran, who has shown interest in a potential move. Sources in his homeland have indicated that a deal is close to being completed, with a verbal agreement already in place between the two clubs.
In addition to Duran, West Ham have also reached an agreement with Bayern Munich to sign right-back Noussair Mazraoui for a fee of €15.5m (£13m) plus add-ons. While there is a verbal agreement in principle with the player, important financial details still need to be sorted out before the deal can be finalized.
If both transfers go through, they would mark West Ham’s fourth and fifth signings of the summer, showing their ambition under Lopetegui’s leadership. This influx of talent points towards the club’s high aspirations for the upcoming season.
