'Manuel Lanzini will join Liverpool on Monday': West Ham insider delivers transfer reply

A WEST HAM insider has knocked back claims Manuel Lanzini will join Liverpool next week.

By Jack Wilson PUBLISHED: Sun, May 13, 2018

Rumours had been circling online that the playmaker would play his last game for the Hammers against Everton on Sunday.

It had been suggested he would then join Liverpool with the confirmation coming 'either Monday or Tuesday'.

But Twitter user @ExWHUemployee, a reliable source of Hammers transfer news, believes the news to be untrue.

He tweeted: "I’ve avoided commenting on this out of respect for the person who has started the rumour. Apparently it’s happening on Monday or Tuesday. So by Wednesday you will know whether it was true or not....

"if I was to bet on whether by Wednesday he will be a West Ham player or not. I would bet on him being a West Ham player but that’s not to say that I am right and they are wrong. That’s just what I would do."

One Hammers fan believed Ex's suggestion was that Lanzini was, in fact, going. But @ExWHUemployee responded: "No people are reading this wrong. I don’t think it will happen.

"The rumour was “Lanzini is leaving fact, it will be confirmed either Monday or Tuesday” So therefore by Wednesday you will know if they rumour is true."

West Ham boss David Moyes goes into the final game of the campaign not knowing if he will stay on - although his case has been backed by Pablo Zabaleta.

He said: "David Moyes came to keep West Ham in the Premier League, to improve a bad situation, and he has done the job.

"We will see what happens at the end of the season. We need to wait. The players have no control over this and cannot make decisions."

The Hammers have been in the relegation dogfight for most of the season but could even finish in the top half of the table if results go their way.

Hot and cold player, so perfect replacement for Phil although i'd prefer we didn't go for a Phil like player and just a consistent one.

Liverpool have taken Real Mallorca winger Angel Sanchez Baro on trial.
The 20-year-old featured for the Reds’ U23 side in a friendly at the club’s Academy on Monday, scoring in a 4-1 win over Panjab FC.
Sanchez is on Merseyside for a short trial, with a possible permanent deal to be explored. Liverpool have built a relationship with Mallorca off the back Anderson Arroyo, the young Colombian full-back who was loaned to the Spanish second division side back in February.

Just tweeted that he's heard we have signed Yaya Toure.

Read the one about signing on Buffon? Will be awesome to have such a legend playing for us. At the same time mentor Karius for the future.

Buffon is an interesting idea. If he's ok being the backup/seasoned mentor, could be a master stroke.

Buffoonery to sign him...we'd have every english ref against us not including Oliver who he verbally attacked after the Madrid game on the pitch and in the media.

Lots of reasons not to buy him but definitely not this one. So what do you think would happen, the refs will go on strike if Buffon is playing?

I'm guessing Buffon would be coming in as backup to Karius with Migs leaving? can't see him being number 1.

We either get a top number 1 like Oblak, or leave Karius in goal as number 1, I suspect Migs want to leave as he wants to be playing, which is understandable, but we'd be best keeping Migs and getting him to fight for his place, like Karius did, that improves both keepers as they have to prove themselves to keep their place.

If we're not in for a keeper that's better than Karius then what's the point.
