“100 percent certain” West Ham already setting the coast clear and have made contact to sign player and it is 100% certain that…… He is ready to help West Ham book a champions league spot next season

West Ham United have made contact with Red Bull Salzburg to sign defender Oumar Solet this summer, according to Salzburger Nachrichten. The news outlet reports that the defender is “100 per cent certain” to leave the Austrian club this summer, with a move expected in the next few weeks. West Ham are one of several clubs to have made contact about a deal, alongside Roma and Wolfsburg, as Julen Lopetegui looks to bolster the defense at the London Stadium.

Lopetegui has already moved to make his defense stronger, signing Max Kilman to replace the veteran Angelo Ogbonna in the squad. However, there are still question marks about the future of Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd, and if one of those were to leave, then there would be another gap in the squad to fill.

The 24-year-old Solet has impressed during his time with Red Bull Salzburg and it’s long been mooted that a move to a top European league would come sooner rather than later. West Ham would provide a great opportunity for him to continue to develop as a defender while also competing for his spot in the team, with Kilman sure to be a starter and one of Zouma and Aguerd likely to be alongside him.

A fee of £8.4 million has been mooted, but is seen as too high currently, which means it would be a real bargain of a signing if done, and fans should be excited at the new-look defense.

In other West Ham news, Dharmesh Sheth expects a move for a new striker to accelerate next week. West Ham have already made a strong start to the summer transfer window, signing Luis Guilherme and Max Kilman for a combined £65 million. Wes Foderingham has also joined to provide experienced cover in goal.

As the transfer window continues to unfold, West Ham United fans will be eager to see who else will join the squad. The club’s early business has positioned them well for the upcoming season, and securing Solet would further strengthen their defense. With Red Bull Salzburg seemingly willing to sell, the Hammers have a great opportunity to bring in a talented young defender and continue their summer spending spree.

The addition of Solet would also provide Lopetegui with more options in defense, allowing him to rotate his squad and keep players fresh throughout the season. With the Premier League and European competitions to navigate, a strong squad will be crucial to West Ham’s success.

In conclusion, West Ham United’s interest in Oumar Solet is a positive move for the club, and fans should be excited at the prospect of the young defender joining the squad. With his impressive performances for Red Bull Salzburg, Solet has the potential to be a great addition to the Hammers’ defense. As the transfer window continues to unfold, West Ham fans will be eagerly awaiting further news on this potential signing.
