West ham have submitted £17 million offer to secure 23 y/o metz striker, highest one received by a club..

West Ham United Eye New Transfer with £17M+ Bid Made

West Ham United has made an offer exceeding £17 million to acquire Metz striker Georges Mikautadze, according to Alexis Bernard. The journalist from Le 10 Sport reported on June 28 that this offer is the highest Metz has received so far for the 23-year-old player.

Both Lens and AS Monaco have also submitted offers for Mikautadze, who is currently the top scorer at Euro 2024 with three goals. Bernard tweeted, “West Ham draws for Mikautadze, OL arrives! West Ham sent a big offer, the highest received by Metz.”

Ensuring Georges Mikautadze Is Not Signed Based on Euro 2024 Hype

West Ham must ensure that their interest in Mikautadze is not solely due to his performance in Euro 2024. Alexis Bernard noted in August 2023 that the club had been interested in signing the Georgian international even before the tournament.

While Mikautadze has performed well, scoring three goals in three games during Euro 2024, it is important to assess his long-term potential and suitability for the team. It is evident that West Ham needs a new striker this summer.

Mikautadze has had a varied club career, scoring 14 goals in 31 appearances for Metz last season. However, he has yet to consistently prove himself at the highest level. Therefore, West Ham should carefully consider his overall performance and potential before making a significant financial commitment.
