West Ham United may have dodged a bullet by missing out on signing Serhou Guirassy, a striker who was high on their list of summer targets.
Guirassy, who scored an impressive 28 goals in the Bundesliga last season, was reportedly available for a mere £15 million due to a release clause in his contract. However, strong competition from other clubs, particularly Borussia Dortmund, led West Ham to turn their attention elsewhere.
According to Sky Sports Germany, Guirassy’s move to Dortmund was all but complete before a medical issue arose, putting the brakes on the transfer. While this may come as a disappointment to Guirassy, who will miss out on a move to a top club, West Ham fans can breathe a sigh of relief.Had West Ham been the ones pursuing Guirassy, it’s likely that talks would have dragged on for far longer, wasting valuable time and resources.
Instead, the Hammers can focus on other targets, like Jhon Duran, who is now reportedly their top priority.Guirassy’s failed medical may be a blessing in disguise for West Ham, who can now avoid the potential risks associated with signing a player with a known medical issue. While Guirassy’s goal-scoring record is impressive, his injury history could have spelled trouble for West Ham’s season.In the end, Guirassy will remain with Stuttgart, where he will still get to enjoy Champions League football.
