West Ham seem ready to take action as they now have their sights on Werder Bremen midfielder Romano Schmid. This information was shared by The Guardian, which mentioned the Premier League side is giving serious attention to the possibility of bringing in the Austrian playmaker.
The report made it clear that the club is actively working on the idea of securing the 25-year-old attacking midfielder. Werder Bremen have placed a price tag of £13 million on Schmid, which puts him in a reasonable range financially compared to other midfielders on the market.
One reason West Ham is showing such strong interest is that they are planning to offload Lucas Paquetá. With that expected sale on the table, the search for a suitable replacement is already underway, and Schmid’s name has moved up their list of targets.
