West Ham fans are desperate for the club to try again in their attempts to sign Norwich City’s impressive attacking midfielder James Maddison.
The Hammers had a £12m bid rejected in January for the 21-year-old, as per The Guardian, which left a lot of fans raging at the club’s continuous low bids for players.
But now they want David Moyes to return for the youngster in the summer – if he is still at the club, that is – after witnessing Maddison’s performance for Norwich in their 1-1 draw with Ipswich on Sunday.
The Mirror have previously claimed that Norwich value Maddison at £30million, which shouldn’t be out of West Ham’s price range but probably will be, but there’s no reason why Moyes shouldn’t explore a deal in the summer.
Maddison is valued at just £1.8m by transfermarkt.com.
Here’s how Hammers fans reacted to Maddison’s latest Canaries performance on Twitter – it’s fair to say they want the lad in claret and blue come the beginning of next season…
Midfielders we need to sign this summer:
Creative Midfielder – Joao Mario (Permanent)
Attacking Midfielder – James Maddison
Defensive Midfielder – Leander Dendonker
They should be top priority!! #WHUFC #COYI

Absolutely- watched Maddison today always impressed when I’ve watched him, would like the other two as well – Marios delivery the other day was excellent ⚒ but will we pay ? Hope so Sullivan owes us after recent fiascos

James Maddison looks proper decent for Norwich like to see him at West Ham in the summer

Seriously, why did West Ham and David Moyes not try and sign Maddison from Norwich?!

@hammers_chat @westhamfantv missed a trick not signing James Maddison Norwich City. Good on the ball, break forward from midfield & takes excellent free kicks. In case Mario does not sign in Summer.
