# West Ham United: Irons buzz as GSB offered chance to sign Barcelona defender Junior Firpo

**According to a report by Italian news outlet Calcio Napoli 24, via [West Ham News](https://twitter.com/WHUFC_News/status/1350520618098286594), Barcelona defender Junior Firpo has been offered to both Napoli and West Ham United – with the defender apparently preferring a move to England as his agent waits for the Hammers to reply.**

Firpo, who got to show his potential for the La Liga giants in flashes last campaign, starting 11 domestic matches, has struggled for those same opportunities during the 2020/21 campaign ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/351252/History/Junior-Firpo)).

As a result, the player’s agent has reportedly offered him up to both the Irons and Napoli – but West Ham hold an upper hand with the 24-year-old seemingly enticed by a move to the Premier League.

In reaction to this report, regardless of his limited game time, many Irons have implored GSB to sign the Spaniard as this new link emerges – with one going on to brand him ‘world class’.

***“If that Italian report is correct, West Ham should be sorting that Junior Firpo deal out. Such a promising left back at his age, was fantastic at Betis. He’d suit our formation as well”***
