West Ham have just made an official enquiry for ‘phenomenal’ midfielder Yunus Musah

West Ham United have reportedly made an official enquiry for Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah.

According to a report from Plaza Deportiva, West Ham are keen to bring Yunus Musah to East London in the summer transfer window.

West Ham have already been heavily linked with a move to sign the 20-year-old Valencia star this summer.

Hammers manager David Moyes is obviously on the hunt for some power and physicality in the middle of the park, with Declan Rice set to leave the London Stadium this summer.

Plaza Deportiva reckon that the Hammers have asked about the American midfielder, as have Fulham.

I strongly believe that Musah would be an exceptional long-term replacement for Rice. He has the power, energy and athleticism needed to succeed in the Premier League and has an incredibly high ceiling.

The 20-year-old might not be as good as Dec with the ball at his feet but he is only 20, so has plenty of years left ahead of him to improve further still.

Goal have described the 25-capped United States international as ‘phenomenal’, and they’re not wrong, Musah is an elite player in the making.

If he continues to work hard and applies himself properly both on and off the pitch, then I have no doubts in my mind that he’ll go on to become one of the very best midfielders in world football.

Estadio Deportivo recently suggested that the 20-year-old Valencia star could be available for just over £21 million this summer.

If West Ham sign Yunus Musah this summer for that kind of money, I’ll be absolutely delighted.
