West Ham United shows interest in signing Edson Alvarez from Ajax, aiming to replace Declan Rice. Alvarez, a holding midfielder, has previously been linked to a move to the Premier League.
He has two years left on his contract with Ajax, but the Dutch club are willing to sell for around £35-40 million.
West Ham have not yet made an official bid for Alvarez, but they are in talks with Ajax.
The player eagerly desires to move to London, and it is unlikely that personal terms will pose any issues.
- Alvarez is a Mexican international who has won 52 caps for his country.
- He was named Ajax’s Player of the Year in 2021.
- He is known for his strong tackling and his ability to read the game.
- He is also a good passer of the ball and can contribute to the attack.
Alvarez is a versatile player who can play as a holding midfielder or as a centre-back. He is strong in the tackle and good at breaking up opposition play. He also has experience playing in Europe, having won the Europa Conference League with Ajax last season.
If West Ham are able to sign Alvarez, he would be a good replacement for Rice. He is a talented player who would add strength and depth to the Hammers’ midfield.
