West Ham eye £15m Ghanian winger Ibrahim Osman after Kalvin Phillips loan deal

West Ham have turned their attention to Ghanian winger Ibrahim Osman after completing a loan deal for Kalvin Phillips.

The Hammers remain in Europe and sit sixth in the Premier League despite falling to a 2-2 draw against Sheffield United on the weekend after conceding a late penalty.

Phillips reportedly travelled back from a UAE training camp with Manchester City yesterday to complete a medical with West Ham.

This comes after a loan move was agreed until the end of the season, with the medical set to go ahead on Thursday.

Now, David Moyes‘ side are eyeing the highly-rated Ghanaian teenage winger Osman, who plays for FC Nordsjaelland, according to The Standard.

The Hammers are looking to add reinforcements to their squad following their loan deal for Man City’s Kalvin Phillips

The 19-year-old has one goal in 16 Superliga games for the Danish side plus four assists.

He is a product of the Right To Dream Academy in Ghana, which also produced Mohammed Kudus.

Both Brighton and Brentford have previously been linked with moves for the player, but West Ham now appear favourites.

Phillips’ move to the London Stadium will surely benefit his chances of earning a spot in England’s Euro Championships squad after a lack of playing time under Pep Guardiola.

A number of rival Premier League clubs had registered an interested in Phillips but have been put off by the conditions of the deal.

Juventus have also shown a major interest and continue to monitor the situation – however it would take a huge turnaround for the Italian club to hijack West Ham’s move now.

It is understood City were initially looking for a £6million loan fee for Phillips, in addition to offloading a large percentage of his wages.

There have also been concerns from some clubs that it may take Phillips a while to regain match sharpness after 18 months of not playing regular first team football.

Newcastle and Crystal Palace are among the teams to have looked into signing the 28-year-old.
