Spezia rejects West Ham's €12m offer for 22-year-old defender Kiviol


According to Italian media reports, the Premier League's West Ham United have recently failed to pursue the services of Jakub Kiviol, because the 22-year-old defender's current Serie A team Spezia has resigned from West Ham United. The team's offer worth 12 million euros.


The 22-year-old Kiviol from Poland has gradually stabilized his defensive ability after moving from Zilina to Spezia in Serie A in 2020. He has also achieved further results, which can effectively prevent the opponent's attack and maintain his position on the field. defensive level. Kiwiol was also praised by the coach of the youth Poland national team, Czeslaw Mikhnevic, and believes that the Poland international is expected to develop into the core player of the team in the future.


West Ham United originally signed the 26-year-old centre-back Nayef Aquaid, who was hot in the transfer market this summer, due to the departure of the defender Issa Diop from the team to join the Premier League Fulham this summer. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury in the preseason and will be out for several months. The remaining 34-year-old veteran Angelo O'Bonner is sidelined with a knee injury, while 32-year-old Craig Dawson is also out with an injury, forcing manager David Moyes to bring in a new centre-back this summer. Aid is imminent and young defender Chiviol is the ideal long-term target.


So West Ham United recently made an offer of 12 million euros to Spezia for the introduction of the 22-year-old Poland international, but it was rejected by the other party. It is understood that Kiviol's contract with the team will expire in three years, and it is expected that Spezia plans to let the young defender emerge at this year's Winter World Cup, thereby increasing his worth, and then in the next summer. Sell him for a higher return.


It is reported that Chiviol has a fixed number of appearances in Spezia. He has played in 25 games, and the defender with little experience on the field will get a fixed playing opportunity after moving to West Ham United. Still doubtful.
