The powers that be at the London Stadium have lashed an eye watering valuation on one of their most prized possessions. According to authoritative sources tracked by GoalZaza, the Hammers are demanding a staggering £84 million, which translates to over. ��134 billion at current exchange rates, for the services of a player who has attracted the serious attention of Manchester United. West Ham United are bracing themselves for a massive summer boardroom battle. Their latest defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates has moved them dangerously close to the relegation precipice. In the scheme of things, a drop to the Championship could trigger a mass exodus from the club. This reality has forced the East London outfit to slap a formidable price tag on their asset, hoping to scare off suitors or secure the lion's share of a transfer fee. The player in question is a Nigerian international, a Super Eagles talisman who has been a stalwart in the Premier League this season. His clinical finishing and resilient displays have caught the eye of the Red Devils' scouting network. At the end of the day, Manchester United will need to dig deep into their coffers if they wish to secure his signature. The defeat against Arsenal was a bitter pill to swallow. The Gunners gave a good account of themselves, dictating the tempo on the pitch and leaving the West Ham defence in tatters. For the Hammers, the focus now shifts to survival. Should they fail to beat the drop, the player will likely be wearing a different kit come August. For the Nigerian fans congregating at popular viewing centres in Surulere and Ikeja, the news has sparked heated debates. Some argue that the price is too steep for a player who has not yet won a major European trophy. Others maintain that any Super Eagles star who dazzles in the Premier League deserves such a valuation. The air in these centres will be thick with opinion, as supporters swap theories over cold bottles of soft drink and plates of suya, eagerly awaiting the summer window to see if their hero makes the move to Old Trafford.
