Wow! £50M star tipped for London Stadium move – told “West Ham are a great club’

Jay Bothroyd has tipped David Moyes’ West Ham United to sign Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia this summer.

It is no secret that LIVERPOOL boss Jurgen Klopp is not done with his transfer business for the summer and is very much interested in a deal for the talented Lavia.

Fabinho is a man that Klopp will need to replace after his decision to make the move to Saudi Arabia  – and Lavia is a midfielder that Klopp reportedly feels is ready to come to the club and help fill the void of the Brazilian star.

It has been claimed in recent days that Liverpool have made their first official move to get Lavia signed up and offered a fee around the £37 million mark – which has been rejected by the Saints.

Lavia started against Bournemouth but was taken off at half-time, as according to journalists in attendance at St Mary’s, the teenager looked ‘uninterested’ and was ‘coasting’ through the game.

But with the Reds not able to get a transfer deal done – WEST HAM have now been tipped to secure a move for the midfielder.

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID? 

“I like Lavia as well,” said Bothroyd. “I know other clubs have been talking about him as well. He is a good young player.

“If you sign him, he is going to be expensive, but the way I would look at it. You can buy, he does well, then you can sell him for even more, so it could be an investment, in the end.

“West Ham are a great club, they lost a great player in Declan Rice. But those two players (Ward-Prowse and Lavia) are the ones I would be looking at if I was West Ham.”

COULD WEST HAM REALLY SIGN LAVIA?

If they offer all that £50 million and Liverpool do not – then yes he could make the move to London.

He would straight into the team at WEST HAM and would enjoy the move – but his heart is set on Liverpool and that means that is where he will probably end up.
