As the January transfer window unfolds, West Ham United is reportedly setting its sights on FC Nordsaelland forward Ibrahim Osman. Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth shares exclusive insights with GIVEMESPORT regarding the potential deal and the player’s connections to Mohammed Kudus.
With the transfer window in full swing, West Ham is exploring options to bolster its squad before the month’s end. The Hammers, yet to secure a new addition, are navigating a relatively quiet window in the Premier League. Despite the quietude, there is ample time left, and acquiring an additional forward for the London Stadium may be deemed a priority in the final weeks.
Injuries to key players like Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio, and Lucas Paqueta, coupled with Kudus’ absence at the African Cup of Nations with Ghana, have left West Ham short-handed in attack. Manager David Moyes openly acknowledges the need for reinforcements during this window, especially after a 1-0 defeat to Bristol City in the FA Cup.
Moyes emphasizes the club’s desire to make impactful signings and states, “The truth is we’ll try and do some business…can we get the right players to come in and ones we think could help just now?”
Reports suggest that one potential target for West Ham is FC Nordsjaelland winger Ibrahim Osman, who shares a common origin with current forward Mohammed Kudus, having come through the Right to Dream Academy in Africa.
While Osman, at the age of 19, may not guarantee an immediate impact, his background and potential make him a prospect worth considering. However, West Ham might face stiff competition, with Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Fulham monitoring Osman’s progress. European clubs from Germany, France, and Italy have also sent scouts to watch the young talent in recent weeks.
Dharmesh Sheth confirms West Ham’s interest in Osman, revealing the club’s intentions to reinforce its attack before the window closes. Sheth highlights additional targets on West Ham’s radar, including Sunderland’s Jack Clarke and former Celtic forward Jota, emphasizing the club’s proactive approach in pursuing talent for the forward area.
