Some West Ham United fans have flocked to a tweet that was recently posted by West Ham insider @ExWHUemployee in which he issued a claim on the Irons’ pursuit of Bournemouth attacker Josh King.
This comes after it was reported that the east London club are targeting the Norwegian as a replacement for Sebastien Haller, who has been sold to Ajax.

However, per ExWHUemployee, ‘this deal is not close,’ as is evident by the fact that the £9.9m-rated man started, and ultimately went on to play the full 90 minutes, scoring two goals and providing one assist, as the Cherries earned a 4-1 win over Oldham Athletic in the FA Cup at the weekend.
So, how have these West Ham United fans been reacting to ExWHUemployee’s claim?
The West Ham insider’s claim drew a negative reaction from many Irons fans, some of whom indicated that they’re worried that The Hammers won’t sign anyone this month to replace Haller.
