West Ham United are closing in on a deal to bring talented striker Daniel Cummings to the London Stadium, with reports suggesting that the player has successfully completed his medical examination.
Sky Sports News’ Anthony Joseph confirmed that Cummings underwent the necessary tests, indicating that the transfer is nearing its final stages.
The 19-year-old is poised to sign a four-year contract with the Hammers after opting to depart Celtic this offseason.
Cummings’ potential arrival is set to provide a significant boost to West Ham’s attacking options, as the team aims to reinforce its squad following a disappointing 14th-place finish in the Premier League.
Despite interest from multiple clubs, West Ham has emerged as the frontrunner to secure Cummings’ services.
His addition to the squad is expected to create healthy competition among the existing forwards and enhance the team’s attacking depth.
Although Brendan Rodgers had hoped to retain Cummings at Celtic, the player’s desire for more playing time has led him to seek a move to the Premier League to continue his career development.
Having excelled in Celtic’s youth system and demonstrated his goal-scoring prowess with an impressive tally of 23 goals in 28 appearances for the B team, Cummings is widely regarded as a promising talent with the potential to thrive at the highest level.
While the transfer has yet to be officially announced, the completion of the medical suggests that a formal confirmation is imminent.
Fans are eager to witness Cummings’ integration into the squad and see if he can replicate his previous success in the Premier League.
With injuries to key attackers like Michail Antonio and Nicklas Fullkrug, West Ham’s pursuit of a striker is a top priority this summer, alongside their interest in securing the services of England international Angel Gomes and Inter Milan defender Yann Bisseck.
