Sullivan’s South American Expedition

Stooges out? No! Sullivan has decided to get involved in the mix himself, and who could expect a Sully special throughout a transfer window?

The Hammers are set to sign Venezuelan winger Kieber Lamadrid, who’s a 22-year-old who recently achieved a call-up to the national team, however, it feels that perhaps diving into his previous stats isn’t exactly purposeful, given the true reason we’re set to sign the youngster.

David Sullivan loves a South American, and there’s no better than getting an entire country on your side, is there? No player has ever gone directly from the Liga FUTVE, the Venezuelan league, straight to the Premier League. Keiber Lamadrid will be the first player in history.

However, he’ll have to impress, seeing as it’ll be a six-month loan, which will cost a small fee, and the Hammers will have an option to buy of £1,000,000 in the event that they want to sign him. It is also uncertain at this moment in time whether Nuno has embraced the signing of the left winger, but whether he wants to or not, the potential shirt sales have soared through Sullivan’s eyes, and he’ll do anything to get this deal over the line now.

It does appear that Sullivan is attempting to soften the blow of inadvertently forcing a signing upon Nuno by being open towards signing Adama Traore this window, which logically should transpire to now being an easier deal after AFCON is officially over.

But for now, the dire need of a centre defender lives on, the club are allegedly looking at targets to sign, but ‘their’ focus at the moment remains with signing two wingers, one for the left side, one for the right.

Hammers fans will hope that this deal does transpire to be a success, the club will not want another Luis Guilherme, but at least if it doesn’t work, it would’ve just cost the Hammers time and a measly £1,000,000, but let me assure you, the shirt sales will certainly surpass the fee that might be paid for him.
