The Hammers are interested in bringing in the Burnley star to the London Stadium, but both Everton and Newcastle Untied are also in the race.

 

Regardless, West Ham are looking to get the deal done and sign the winger permanently this summer to enhance their own attacking options.

 

 

West Ham are in advanced negotiations for the winger and they have decided to take a big step towards his signing.

 

The Hammers are prepared to meet the release clause of Cornet, which stands at £17.5m, and close out his signing.

 

 

West Ham are working hard to get the winger’s signature and now they have decided to take the extra measure required.

 

However, there is a possibility that multiple clubs decide to meet the release clause of the winger and in that case, the winger himself will decide his destination.

 

 

It remains to be seen if any other club are also prepared to meet the release clause of Cornet and if the winger chooses West Ham.
