West Ham United battle Aston Villa, Liverpool and Tottenham for Atalanta forward
A report claims that West Ham United is considering hiring the Atalanta forward, the Hammers are thinking about attempting to sign the Atalanta forward during the next transfer window.
The offensive phenomenon from Belgium has established a solid reputation for himself in the top division of Italy thanks to his reliable performances. The Irons are poised to compete with Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Tottenham for his services.
Even if De Ketelaere’s time at AC Milan may not have gone as planned, he has benefited greatly from his transfer to Atalanta. Their first squad has made the 23-year-old offensive midfielder a vital member, and his steady play has not gone unnoticed.
His adaptability has been quite beneficial, and he is a mainstay at the Italian club. Several elite teams have put the Belgian international on their wish lists after he contributed 17 goals in 23 games. Among the teams that have taken notice of his performances is West Ham.
In the upcoming week, the Hammers intend to assess his condition. They want to make a move during the next transfer window and believe he is a perfect fit for their system. The team of Julen Lopetegui is well aware of the growing interest in their star, Mohammed Kudus, and they want to be ready for the possibility that he leaves.
They believe De Ketelaere, who can play both as a number 10 and on the flanks, could be the perfect substitute. The Hammers are prepared to take on Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Tottenham in the process, even if he is valued at £40 million.
De Ketelaere might be able to help the Reds deal with Mohamed Salah’s possible departure as they prepare for life without him. Unai Emery, meantime, thinks highly of the Belgian phenomenon.
The Atalanta attacker might be his team’s missing piece, and he enjoys working with flexible players. Spurs are looking for both quality and depth in the latter third of the field, and De Ketelaere might be useful in both situations.
