Deal Done: Manchester united offers crazy amount for Micheal Olise to play for them with a contract of….
On January 22, the transfer news website revealed that West Ham had to sell due to Financial Fair Play requirements, and that both Championship teams had discussed a potential deal with the Hammers.
This has happened while Leeds is able to provide Johnson with a way out and West Ham is focusing on signing agreements that most likely depend on players leaving.
Johnson was recently labeled as “one to watch” in a report by The Mirror [18 January], and now that the two teams have established communication, the deal is starting to appear more plausible.
The source further stated that the defender may receive an offer for a new contract in East London if he stays in the Hammers’ lineup due to their persistent injury problems.
Leeds should be chatting to Johnson in an attempt to persuade him that moving to Elland Road would be the best option, even though it’s possible that he intends to stay at West Ham for the long run and that choice may depend on his ability to impress the elite in East London.
Leeds will have an advantage over Millwall because of their accelerating pursuit of promotion and their capacity to pay larger salaries than their rival because of their recent Premier League success and the rewards that followed.
