According to the Guardian, West Ham United has submitted an improved selection of Southampton to sign the Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes Jacob Steinberg.
West Ham has shown a great interest in Fernandes this summer, with Graham Potter to add more creativity and drive to his midfield options.
Allegedly their opening proposal fell far below the asking price of Southampton, where the Hampshire outfit rejects both the figure and the structure of the deal and unsatisfactory.
Despite their decrease in the championship, the saints remain in a solid position, because Fernandes is bound to a four -year contract with St Mary’s, and the club does not feel under pressure to separate for him than their appreciation.
The Hammers have now decided to increase their offer, according to SteinbergHe claims that West Ham has submitted a more ‘improved offer’ for the transfer of the Portugal U21 star to the club this summer.
After previously rejected bids, Southampton will only entertain offers that are considerably higher than its £ 12 million Transfer market Valuation, which is comparable to what they have paid with sporty CP to sign it last summer.
Although Steinberg has not given any clarity about the figures of the improved bid from West Ham, it is interesting to see whether the improved range of West Ham is considered sufficient enough to complete the transfer.
Improved offer
It has not been the best possible opening week for the new season for West Ham, which lost 3-0 to Sunderland on Saturday in the stadium of the stadium.
Graham Potter handed debut to two of their new signing sessions, with El Hadji Malick Diouf and Mads Hermansen from the back, while Kyle Walker-Peters and Callum Wilson-Lijene took place under the replacements.
They showed vulnerability, especially in the middle of the park, so it is not surprising that a movement for a new midfielder is now accelerated as the deadline of the transfer window comes close.
Fernandes would be a good addition to Potter, because he has characteristics that will help the former Chelsea manager in the print of his playing style. He already started the season in strong form and continued from where he had left last season, with a decisive goal in the Carabao Cup first round against Northampton.
West Ham will hope that their last offer for Southampton is enough to get the deal for the Portuguese midfielder over the line.
