This summer has the potential to be one of the most exciting transfer windows in recent memory for the club, and it seems that we’re primed to continue with our recruitment. The latest player to be linked with a move to the London Stadium is Lazio’s Jordan Lukaku.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, as cited by Inside Futbol, we’re interested in the services of the Belgian defender. However, we face competition in the form of Leicester City for his signature.
Here’s how West Ham supporters have reacted to the news on Twitter.
Lazio and close are two words as common as Fish and Chips or Bacon and Eggs…

He is useless and just a poor Masuaku. 😅

Not even gonna lie, I feel like we just tried to sign him to get the best out of the Anderson deal, we don’t really need him

Verdict:
Jordan Lukaku is certainly a promising talent, and he came into his own for Lazio last season as he amassed 44 appearances in all competitions. In addition to the experience attained of playing in one of the most tactical divisions in world football, the 23-year-old full-back has received seven international caps with Belgium. He exhibits great potential, and he would be a solid acquisition.
