It’s official! Edson Álvarez is a new West Ham player, and with this he joins the list of Mexicans who have been in the Premier League, which is considered the league with the highest soccer level in the world.
According to the Reuters agency, the negotiation between West Ham and Ajax would be close to 40 million euros, which places the América youth squad in the second most expensive Mexican footballer in history.
According to the monetary data, Álvarez would be only behind Hirving Lozano, who at the time Napoli disbursed the amount of 45 million euros. In addition to displacing Raúil Jiménez, with the 38 million euros that Wolverhampton paid for him.
West Ham’s decision to have the services of the Mexican midfielder came after the English club suffered the loss of Declan Rice, who became an Arsenal footballer, which is why the team led by David Moyes set their sights on Alvarez.
“Amazing!” 😍
Edson is a big fan of our new Away Kit ⚒️
