Mexico international is club’s first summer signingHammers still chasing Maguire and McTominay
West Ham have agreed a £32m deal to sign the Ajax midfielder Edson Álvarez and are trying to buy Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay from Manchester United. Álvarez has agreed terms on a five-year deal and is set to fly to London for a medical. The Mexico international will be West Ham’s first summer signing and his arrival will come as a boost for David Moyes, whose future as manager is under renewed scrutiny after a difficult pre-season.
Moyes has struggled to agree on signings with Tim Steidten, West Ham’s new technical director, and faces missing out on one of his top targets, Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse. West Ham do not want to pay more than £30m for the Southampton midfielder and a deal is unlikely at this stage.
