According to journalist Alvaro de Grado, West Ham United are interested in signing Manchester United’s promising academy product Alvaro Fernandez.
According to the Spanish writer, who took to his personal Twitter account on August 14, the Red Devils are holding out for a cost of roughly £5 million as a slew of clubs, including Burnley and Eintracht Frankfurt, vie for his signature.The Old Trafford sensation is set to leave the club this summer, as his prospects under Erik ten Hag may be restricted, with Luke Shaw and Tyrel Malacia vying for the left-back position in Manchester.
West Ham is one of several clubs interested in providing him opportunities overseas, according to de Grado.lvaro Fernández Carreras (2003), on the Manchester United exit ramp,” he tweeted.Granada, UD Las Palmas, Espanyol, West Ham, Burnley, and Eintracht Frankfurt are among the clubs interested in the Galician footballer.”
“United is asking for around €7 million (£5 million).”
Left-back needed
With London Stadium veteran Aaron Cresswell set to leave this summer, the Hammers will be scrambling to find a long-term replacement.And it’s great to watch West Ham United look for young, eager, and dynamic players to replace Cresswell, with Fernandez being the most recent to emerge.
The 20-year-old defender is highly rated at Old Trafford, and it is logical that Manchester United would consider letting him to leave this summer, as he requires playing time and opportunity to develop elsewhere.The London Stadium might surely give him with that revitalizing opportunity, and it appears to be a wise decision for all parties involved.
Fernandez had a fantastic loan period at Preston North End last season and is a blossoming young talent with outstanding technique, pace, dribbling ability, and a very strong defensive ability to develop into one of Europe’s best young full-backs if he isn’t already.
With new technical director Tim Steidten desperately looking for some bright young talents to add to Moyes’ squad this season, Fernandez represents a fantastic opportunity, one that the Irons could assist in developing into one of the league’s top left-backs.
In other West Ham United news, the club’s stance on another potential signing has emerged, despite the fact that the deal has yet to be completed.
