Nuno Espírito Santo Targets Portuguese International for West Ham
West Ham, managed by Nuno Espírito Santo, is reportedly interested in signing Portuguese international José Sá from Wolverhampton Wanderers. This potential transfer is being closely monitored as the January window approaches, according to sources from El-Balad.
José Sá’s Current Situation
José Sá, a 32-year-old goalkeeper, sustained an injury during warm-ups for a match against Manchester United. Since September, he has lost his starting position at Wolverhampton after a defeat to Leeds United and has been relegated to the bench.
West Ham’s Goalkeeping Needs
West Ham is seeking a goalkeeper who can contest the starting role with Alphonse Areola. The club believes Sá’s experience could provide a solid option for this competition.
Wolverhampton’s Perspective
- The Wolves may be open to negotiating Sá’s exit to create both space and funds for a new goalkeeper.
- The team is currently at the bottom of the Premier League standings, searching for solutions to enhance their performance.
- In his tenure at Wolverhampton, Sá has made 141 appearances in the Premier League, securing 33 clean sheets.
Wolverhampton is planning to support coach Rob Edwards during the January transfer window to address the team’s struggles, including the need for restructuring the squad. Sá’s departure could be part of this strategy.
Future for Mads Hermansen
West Ham might also allow Mads Hermansen to leave shortly after his arrival, as his performances have faltered. This situation has opened the door for the club to consider Sá as a potential reinforcement.
As the January transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on West Ham’s potential move for José Sá, a decision that could impact both clubs significantly.
