West Ham face Serie A challenge for exciting young forward

Kongsvinger star Daniel Job will almost certainly leave the club this summer as West Ham look to add him to their squad.

Yahoo Sports had reported on the interest from the Hammers a few weeks ago as Job continued to perform well in the Norwegian second division. The attacker is one of the best players in that competition and has been so impressive that he could be sold directly to England instead of moving to another Norwegian club.

West Ham target Job

The Hammers are scouting extensively for talents they can sign cheaply, who can arrive and perform well for their team, and they see Job as someone who fits that category. The 21 year old would also be delighted to make the move there, but more clubs are now pushing for his signature.

West Ham’s interest has therefore given Job an opportunity to take the next step in his career. His performances in Norway have attracted attention, and a move to England could provide him with a new challenge.

However, competition for his signature is growing, with clubs outside England also monitoring his situation. The attacker must now consider his options as the transfer window approaches its conclusion.

Lecce join race for Job

TV2 says Serie A’s Lecce are another team who have been following Job, and they would love to add him to their squad this summer. Lecce are one of the teams that import and develop players in Italy before selling them to bigger clubs, and Job could be open to the move.

For the 21 year old, a move to Lecce would represent another route into one of Europe’s major leagues. However, West Ham remain an attractive option, particularly given his background and the opportunity the move could provide.

As a Nigerian whose main language is English, Job might prefer to wait for a move to West Ham. A transfer to the Hammers could also give him the chance to work towards promotion to the Premier League.

With interest from both England and Italy, Job now has an important decision to make. Kongsvinger may be preparing for his departure, while the attacker will have to decide which opportunity offers the best next step in his career.
