On August 3, the ball world beacon again! Sky Sports have broken the bombshell news that the West Ham Hammers are still active in the transfer market, in advanced talks with Burnley over a move for Corne, while they have not buried their desire to bring in Kostic.
West Ham's pursuit of 25-year-old winger Kornai is said to be unrelenting, as they have made an attractive offer to Burnley for a loan plus an option to buy out, with the buyout clause automatically triggered if the player shines and the team has a strong record. Furthermore, while Frankfurt winger Kostic is also a target for West Ham, they are currently concentrating on other transfer matters.
Despite the unfortunate injury to new signing Aqued, West Ham have not closed the door on the sale of Diop, only that they have yet to receive a satisfactory offer. It's worth mentioning that Premier League promotion rivals Fulham have made a £15 million (including float) offer for Diop, but that's still a long way from the valuation West Ham have in mind.
