The West Ham Way December 17, 2023 Charlie Bass West Ham could yet sign a highly-rated Brazilian defender but may have to wait a while, according to reports.
The Hammers are aiming to secure a fourth consecutive season of European football, but to achieve this West Ham will need to bring in new signings to strengthen their squad.
However, reports suggest that West Ham could look to add more depth at the other end of the pitch through Robert Renan, a left centre-back from Zenit St. Petersburg who boasts some impressive stats.
The20-year-old has performed more consistently for the Russian team this season.
His flying skills need improvement, but he more than makes up for it with his tackling.
Recently, a report that West Ham had agreed to pay the Brazilian a transfer fee of around £20 million was denied by his agent, who simply said:
“It’s a lie.”Now there’s another twist in the story as JB (a Brazilian news site) claimed that although the reports were far from the truth, the teenager was likely to move to East London.
Confusingly, they don’t believe the move will happen before January 2025, although they claim he has already been “virtually sold” to West Ham.
It looks like this report could be worth a lot based on what Ex WHUE mployee says.
Ex exclusively revealed on The West Ham Way Patreon that “Tim Steidten would be a fan” of Renan, but he is just “interested” and that “could mean we reconsider the deal at another time”.
Whether or not this will be the case next January remains to be seen, but the fact that there is some truth to these rumors suggests that there may be a specific reason why the board is waiting to make a decision.
decision in his favor. Either way, it’s probably a good idea to let Renan get a bit more first-team experience before making a move for him. It’s still very raw and needs time to develop, so it might be in our best interest to sign off on a more finished product rather than having to iron out its rough edges ourselves.
