Fabrizio Romano: Tim Steidten spotted with Mexican £34m player jetting to UK for me, set to complete medical
And transfer specialist Romano shared an image on his personal Twitter account of the defensive midfielder on a private jet with his agents and Steidten on their way to England to put the finishing touches on the deal.
“Edson Alvarez, on his way to London – ready to undergo medical tests as new West Ham player,” he wrote.
“Alvarez will become most expensive Mexican player ever.
“Here, Edson flying with agents Nathan and Fulco van Kooperen – and West Ham director Tim Steidten.”
In case you were wondering who has seemingly won the war between Moyes and Steidten, this picture tells you plenty.
Steidten is said to have been pushing for this deal for a while and he has now finally convinced Moyes to pursue it, and Alvarez is now on his way for a big move as we edge closer to replacing Declan Rice.
