Optimism is building west ham united It was demolished in just 45 minutes on Saturday night.

Nuno Espírito Santo The team has two wins over Chelsea in their last two games Premier League They were leading at halftime and looked like they were going to win three games.

However, the home side fought back in the second half to secure an unlikely victory, further damaging the Hammers’ survival hopes.

However, it’s not all doom and gloom as West Ham have made the most of the transfer window so far and now seem intent on adding a defender to the squad which would be a huge upgrade Max Kilman.

West Ham target Kilman promoted

To say West Ham United have been busy this winter transfer window would be quite the understatement.

As well as selling Lucas Paqueta to Flamengo, the Hammers have also brought in four attackers.

The latest addition is Premier League veteran Adama Traore, who may lack the end product but is more than capable of making an impact.

However, while beefing up the offense makes sense, the Ironmen also need to improve their defense.

Luckily, they seem to be planning to do just that and are hunting down those who let Kilman go.

At least this is the basis A recent report from SpainWest Ham United are said to be interested in Natan.

In fact, the report doesn’t stop there, revealing that the Hammers have already submitted an offer for the Brazilian centre-back.

The east Londoners reportedly offered to loan the player out for €3 million before paying €33 million to sign him in the summer, with the final price being €36 million, or £31 million.

However, this offer was rejected by Real Betis, who were still willing to sell, but for a higher price.

As such, it could be an expensive and complicated move, but given Natan’s ability, it’s one West Ham should be gunning for, especially since he’s sending Kilman away.

Why Nathan let Kilman go

Now, Natan may not be a particularly well-known player in England, but he has gained some impressive experience.

For example, in addition to 122 caps for the Brazilian national team, the 24-year-old has also made 21 appearances for Italian giants Napoli and, as things stand, 80 appearances for Real Betis.

Furthermore, while Nuno’s growing appreciation for Kilman is evident as he has started just one of the club’s last five league games, the Betis ace has been key to his side this year.

For example, he has made 28 appearances in all competitions this season, all of which are starts, which is not only impressive but also shows that he is physically capable of handling a tight schedule.

Okay, so what about their underlying numbers? Clearly, the Brazilian is the more reliable player, but are his numbers more impressive?

Not surprisingly, the “physical” monster, as an analyst-turned-scout calls it Ben Mattinson actually looks better here.

For example, he performs better in most relevant indicators, including duels won, aerial duels won, clearances, receptions, interceptions, successful passes, etc., all with 90 points.

In other words, the former Napoli star is a defender who is not only better in possession, but also in a more old-school way.

So, despite the hefty price tag, West Ham should do all they can to sign Natan before the transfer window closes as he would be a clear upgrade over Kilman.
