# West Ham United: Fans react to ExWHUemployee update on Kai Wagner

**According to an update by [ExWHUemployee](https://twitter.com/richyguyhammers/status/1329495929133666304?s=21), West Ham United are monitoring Philadelphia Union left-back Kai Wagner – with the defender priced at around £3.5 million and well within GSB’s price range.**

Wagner, who has burst on to the MLS scene in recent seasons, has attracted interest from a [number of Premier League clubs](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8957889/West-Ham-Fulham-eyeing-3-5m-Philadelphia-Union-star-Kai-Wagner.html) including West Ham as the board reportedly keep tabs.

The 23-year-old, as well as being hugely promising, comes at a meagre price which could entice David Gold and co into a move – prompting many Hammers to react sarcastically on social media.

Lamenting the club’s small budget, plenty of supporters had their say over the lack of investment in star players – with this latest move drawing remarks amid concerns West Ham do not possess enough strength in depth.

> Where has the budget gone from the sales of Diangana and the wages saved on Anderson…we have gone from £32m offered for Tarkowski to some xfactor left back? [#gsbout](https://twitter.com/hashtag/gsbout?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [pic.twitter.com/APltdG8O88](https://t.co/APltdG8O88)
