According to the report, West Ham United has now submitted a massive investigation into the contract for the “magic” midfielder.
West Ham set the sights on the midfielder amid Alvarez’s uncertainty
It is expected that Edson Alvarez will leave London Stadium this summer after pecking orders, and Ajax is believed to be considering a loan move for the former midfielder.
The Mexicans were benched for a 3-0 defeat against Sunderland on Saturday, but starters Guido Rodriguez and James Ward Prows didn’t do well at the Stadium of Light.
As a result, Graham Potter may be keen to pull at least one new central midfielder out of the door before the transfer deadline, and Iron is now in the race for Alex Garcia in Bayer Leverkusen.
However, the 5th time Spanish International is not the only option on the list. Potter’s side is taking part in a multipurpose midfielder race where you can play in many positions.
It has been featured regularly in the midfield and both wings throughout his career, according to Italy (via sports witness), which states that West Ham has filed a massive investigation into RB Leipzig’s Elsiev Elmas contract.
However, Elmas is used primarily in the mid-center role, and the Maestro was particularly impressive during his stint with the ruler with Serie A champion Napoli, who also appears in his signature race.
Despite arriving in Leipzig in 2024 for a fee of 24 million euros (£21 million), the 25-year-old hopes to leave the German club this summer.
“Magic” Elmas could be an exciting addition for West Ham
The North Macedonia International’s move to Leipzig has not been going well, but the Bundesliga side is open to approve this summer’s departure, but there are plenty of signs that could be firmly added to Potter’s mid-season.
The former Napoli man was a key player at the Italian club during the 2022-23 campaign that won the Scudetto, trying to lift the title with six goals and three assists on 36 outings.
Robert Earnshaw also praised Leipzig Ace for his performance at the international level in the past, saying: “He has this magic. He has the ability to create something from nothing. Great movement, intelligent, he understands the interval and time, and he can finish.”
Elmas’ offensive abilities, coupled with his versatility, could make him an exciting addition to the West Ham team, but the fact that the Northern Macedonians struggled to adapt to life in the Bundesliga is a concern.
