Putting West Ham United ahead of Nottingham Forest in the running for a crucial player transfer
Now, West Ham has a few days to seal Carlos Miguel’s deal before Nottingham Forest does.
Journalist John Percy of the Telegraph reports that the 25-year-old goalkeeper for Corinthians is anticipated to board a plane to travel to the UK for his medical examination in advance of a move worth £3.4 million.
The Hammers have advanced talks with Globo and made an offer to sign Miguel; nevertheless, at this point, it looks that he is going to the City Ground.
Percy announced on Twitter that Nottingham Forest was on the verge of making their first summer acquisition. Carlos Miguel, the goalkeeper for Corinthians, is scheduled to arrive later this week for a medical examination before a £3.4 million transfer. Miguel’s release clause has been activated by Forest, who see the agreement as excellent business.
If West Ham want to complete Carlos Miguel’s deal, they will need to try a late hijack.
By making a last-ditch, more lucrative offer to Miguel and his club, the Hammers may try to sabotage the deal.
They could try to influence Miguel’s choice to choose them by offering a better contract and a larger transfer fee.
Miguel may also be drawn to West Ham by the Premier League, with the club stressing the chance to play in one of the best football leagues in the world rather than facing relegation like Forest did.
The team could persuade the Brazilian to pick them over Nottingham Forest by emphasizing their aspirations and previous achievements.
To scuttle the current agreement, this tactic would need prompt action and forceful talks.
It is unclear if the Hammers have given up on him or have found other players to pursue.
In other West Ham news, a player who is scheduled to leave a Premier League team this month wants to join the Hammers on a free transfer.
