Their fortunes might be about to change, however, as Fabrizio Romano has reported that a deal could soon be completed between the two sides.

According to Romano, West Ham’s improved bid for Kudus was between £38 and £39 million, with an additional sell-on clause. Both the Hammers and the Ghanaian player’s representatives feel that a deal is mostly completed.
