West Ham reportedly activate Lamadrid purchase option
West Ham remain reported to have activated a £1m option to sign Keiber Lamadrid permanently, with ExWHUEmployee and The Athletic both previously credited with that claim.
Claret & Hugh’s account is less definite. Its headline says the option has been taken up, but the body only says West Ham are expected to activate it. The outlet also acknowledges that a source close to the club had told it the previous week that Lamadrid was likely to leave.
That contradiction does not make the reported completion firmer. No official announcement had been made in the supplied accounts.
