Yunus Musah, who left Arsenal on a free transfer in 2019, is now being linked with a potential move to West Ham United as a replacement for Declan Rice.
With the summer transfer window now open, Arsenal are expected to make significant moves, and Rice remains their primary target. However, West Ham are already preparing for Rice’s potential departure and has set its sights on Musah from Valencia, according to reports from CBS.
Musah, a highly talented 20-year-old American, has been impressing in La Liga and had a notable performance in the World Cup for the United States. His potential move to the Premier League has been a subject of speculation, and it appears that West Ham is keen on securing his services as a replacement for Rice. Estadio Deportivo reports that Musah himself is interested in making the move to the London Stadium.
Musah had previously been a part of Arsenal’s academy, joining the club in 2012 and spending seven years there. However, he chose to leave the Gunners in 2019, joining Valencia on a free transfer. His current contract with Valencia includes a staggering £86 million release clause. If West Ham manages to secure his signature, it would likely be for a significantly lower fee, making him a remarkable signing for them.
