West Ham United Agree Edson Alvarez Exit, Sacrifice Still Needed
West Ham United have agreed to Edson Alvarez's exit, with the midfielder set to join Koln in Germany on loan. This comes after a busy couple of weeks at the London Stadium, with Mateus Fernandes joining Tottenham for a huge £85million.
What Happened?
Callum Wilson has officially joined Brentford after his contract expiration, and Edson Alvarez is possibly next already. The Mexican came off the bench for that famous England win at the Azteca at the World Cup, and was packing his bags soon after. Now, he could be packing again, with another move away from London and West Ham edging closer.
Why It Matters for West Ham United
Alvarez leaving would be a surprise to nobody at the London Stadium, but he wouldn't be the last. Crysencio Summerville and Jarrod Bowen are the two prize attackers, with serious question marks around both. West Ham learn just how serious Man United are in Crysencio Summerville exit latest.
What Comes Next?
Alvarez is said to be willing to take a significant pay cut to join Koln, who are pushing to get the deal done. The midfielder has already gathered information on everything about the German club, with only positives so far. A move to Germany would likely suit Alvarez, who is dipping his toe in many of Europe's top leagues in his career.
The Current State of West Ham United
As of today, West Ham United are 18th in the Premier League, with 39 points from 38 games. They have scored 46 goals and conceded 65, resulting in a -19 goal difference. They are 46 points behind leaders Arsenal in the title race.
The Transfer Saga Continues
The only issue is said to be Alvarez needing to take a significant pay cut to join Koln, who are pushing to get it done. The midfielder has already gathered information on everything about the German club, with only positives so far. So, this may just be a match made in heaven, and in simple terms, losing his wages for another year only helps West Ham.
