West Ham are currently negotiating a deal to acquire Fabrício Bruno, the centre back from Flamengo.
According to a report from Football Insider, West Ham United are eyeing a summer reinforcement in the form of Matt O’Riley, a Danish midfielder who has been in stellar form this season. O’Riley, who joined Celtic for a mere £1.5 million in 2022, has excelled, becoming a linchpin for the Scottish side. His impressive performances, especially this season, have caught the attention of several top clubs.
Having played a pivotal role in Celtic’s league title triumph, O’Riley has contributed to 37 goals in 48 appearances, showcasing his versatility and impact in midfield. His outstanding displays have garnered interest from giants like Atletico Madrid, who were rebuffed in their winter pursuit but are expected to reignite their interest in the summer.
West Ham United, keen on bolstering their squad after a ninth-place finish, see O’Riley as a potential game-changer. Despite facing competition from Atletico Madrid, the Hammers are determined to pursue his signature, recognizing his consistency and potential for further development. While Celtic values O’Riley highly, they may consider a transfer if a suitable offer meets their demands, aiming to profit significantly on a player they acquired for a bargain £1.5 million and whose contract extends until 2027.
