The Latest: Journalist shares promising Zielinski update…
Now, as per journalist Dello Iavoco (via Area Napoli), there’s been a potentially promising update on talks between Napoli and West Ham.
Indeed, according to the reporter, the Serie A side and Irons have found an ‘agreement’ over Zielinski.
“Between Naples and West Ham I understand that an agreement has been reached for Zielinski for about 30 million pounds, which is equal to 35.63 million of euros, more than the bonuses that I do not know at the moment.”
However, while both clubs have found common ground over the fee, it is claimed that personal terms are yet to be resolved.
The Verdict: Big few weeks…
The return of English top flight football is no longer far away and these next few weeks may well be crucial in determining whether West Ham can keep competing with the very best.
Landing their key targets will be a major factor in this and Napoli’s £106,000-per-week star could seriously upgrade Moyes’ midfield options, especially considering he’s even been likened to Man City star Kevin De Bruyne.
