West Ham United face tall order to sign Ismael Saibari
West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing 24-year-old Moroccan international Ismael Saibari from Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on Hammers News, West Ham United will face competition from Aston Villa, Leeds United, and Everton in the race to sign Ismael Saibari from PSV eindhoven.
The 24-year-old has been outstanding in the Eredivisie and garnered the moniker of the best player in the league, and he could prove to be a solid acquisition for West Ham. The Hammers have been disappointing this term, and they have been quite poor in the Premier League.
They are certainly in the race for survival. The East London outfit will not want to go down to the EFL Championship, and they will look to survive in the top flight. Signing the right players could be ideal for them. It remains to be seen whether they can win the race for the midfielder.
The PSV Eindhoven midfielder has attracted the attention of multiple clubs with his quality performances. It is no surprise that Aston Villa, Leeds and Everton are also interested in him. He has been labelled as the “best player in Eredivisie”.
The 24-year-old has the attributes for the Premier League as well, and he could be a quality player for the Hammers if they manage to get the deal done. Lucas Paqueta has been linked with a move away from the club, and the Brazilian will need to be replaced. Saibari would be a quality addition.
Aston Villa and Everton keen on Saibari
Meanwhile, Aston Villa could use more cutting-edge and creativity as well. Signing the midfielder could prove to be a wise decision. They have an exciting project and a quality manager. The player will be attracted to the idea of playing for them.
Everton have also shown improvement under David Moyes this season. They will be aiming for a place in the top half. It will be interesting to see if the Merseyside outfit can bring in the right additions over the next few months. The midfielder will certainly help them improve.
It remains to be seen which of the four Premier League clubs can get the deal done. The Moroccan international will look to test himself at the highest level. Moving to the Premier League will be ideal for him. Regular football in England could bring out the best in the player. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
