“Fate puts us on different paths” is what Argentinian national Paulo Dybala said on his social media post, confirming his departure from Italian giants Juventus F.C. this summer as a free agent.

With the soon-to-be free agent available on a free transfer this upcoming summer transfer window, a whole host of clubs are lining up for his signature these days. Above all, Chelsea F.C. and West Ham United reportedly could hold a crucial advantage over their rivals Arsenal and Tottenham.

Paulo Dybala’s Highlights

Football deals at an elite level are seldom straight forward, as Hammers have found out to their cost in the past mainly due to the club's propensity for conducting their potential business far too much in the public domain, with the usual result being either another club 'sniping in' and nabbing the player, or the deal fizzling out showing just how inept and embarrassing the club's recruitment policy was.

Now there's needy and there's greedy and then there is needy and greedy, which category would most football fans fall within? The answer being the latter at almost EVERY club on the planet, so when there is even a sniff of West Ham 'splurging out' for a top player it is greeted with equal amounts of scepticism and enthusiasm as well as world weary realism by supporters who have seen and heard every smoke and mirrors trick in the book and some that are still yet to be added!
