West Ham United have been linked with signing a couple of players from Leicester City over the summer. The two Foxes in question would certainly enhance options at London Stadium. Though every Premier League club seems to believe they can hold LCFC's feet to the fire, so to speak, over transfers. This notion was incorrectly formed because of the East Midlands side's perceived and reported financial difficulties. And City may well have money problems; owners King Power are definitely going through a rough ride at the moment.
But the Leicestershire team will not be bullied nor pushed around or dictated to. Not under any circumstances! Therefore the Hammers will probably have to pay a lot more than advertised for Mads Hermansen. In fact, the East Londoners could be forced to shell out extra millions than suspected for Leicester's star goalkeeper. What's the score with the Dane, is he moving to the capital? How much will he cost WHUFC? And is a replacement waiting in the wings on Filbert Way?

If you weren't aware, West Ham manager Graham Potter would apparently like to swoop for a City duo. And not just any Leicester pair, our two best players: Bilal El Khannouss and Hermansen.
Though both Foxes are said to be valued slightly higher by LCFC than some outlets have published. The Moroccan, for example, is supposedly worth £40 million to the one-time Premier League champions; that's almost a difference of £20m to reports.
Meanwhile some journalists have claimed that approximately £20m will buy you Hermansen. I must admit that when I first saw that alleged amount, I was surprised.
"Leicester valued him at £35 million last summer, and West Ham may need to offer something similar to have a chance of bringing the ‘spectacular‘ 25-year-old to the club."One Football
Though I assumed Leicester's economic situation could force a low agreement. However, £35m was the asking price this time last year? Why would LCFC drop the value - Hermansen's contracted for a further three years?! If anything, the price tag should be higher.
