When this story first appeared in the January transfer window, many – including me- were sceptical about West Ham’s serious intent to bring Barcelona’s 22 year old former whizzkid to East London. ( C and H, “Nou Camp wonderkid on West Ham’s radar”). Especially when said ‘former whizzkid’ was once valued at £80 million plus.
However the story resurfaced earlier this week with news from Barcelona that their head coach Hansi Flick is adamant that he has no future planned for former Manchester United – linked prodigy Ansu Fati.
From donbalon.com came the article claiming that : “The attacker could leave definitively in the summer and his destination could be, again, in the Premier League, with West Ham in pole position… The English team has been the team that has been most interested in Ansu for a long time and it seems that this time it could be the definitive one.
The footballer has had offers from clubs such as Sevilla or Manchester United, but the Spaniard could have opted for West Ham. Laporta [ FC Barca’s President] has already held meetings in London with English leaders and his departure could be a reality in the coming months.”
