Graham Potter’s West Ham United have reportedly stepped up their talks to sign 6’3″ Japanese shot-stopper Zion Suzuki from Serie A club Parma this summer.

According to a report from The West Ham Way, Zion Suzuki could be heading to the Premier League this summer as West Ham United are in advanced talks to sign the Japanese international. The Hammers are fully focused on adding more quality to the goalkeeping position, and the Param sensation is a priority target for them.

Suzuki made quite a name for himself while playing for Belgian outfit Sint-Truiden. While multiple top clubs were interested in his signature last summer, the Serie A outfit managed to win the race for his signature.

The youngster was a constant feature in the goal for Parma last season. He started in 37 league games and ended up keeping eight clean sheets. While he did let in 53 goals, the 22-year-old did put in some impressive performances, which have put him on the radar of clubs in England.

West Ham are working hard to sign Suzuki

Zion Suzuki still has four years left on his deal at Parma Calcio, but he could be on the move this summer as West Ham are looking to add him to their squad. With Lukasz Fabianski leaving the club, Graham Potter is looking to add more quality in between the sticks.

West Ham have strengthened their goalkeeping coaching staff under Graham Potter and are now stepping up efforts to sign a young shot-stopper as a long-term solution. People at the London club really admire the 6’3″ Japanese international, and they believe he could become one of their mainstays.

The East London outfit are in advanced talks to sign the Parma sensation. He is considered a top target, and they have already initiated talks with his camp. He could be one of the next players to join the club if all goes according to plan, as the Hammers consider his wage demands and the price tag reasonable.

It would also benefit them from a marketing perspective, helping fulfil their long-standing desire to secure a high-profile signing to tap into the Asian market.
