Everton and West Ham fall short in pursuit of striker | OneFootball

Both Everton and West Ham United have missed out on the signing of sought-after striker Ben Brereton-Diaz.

Journalist Alan Nixon had previously reported (via his Patreon) that both Everton and West Ham were in the race for Blackburn Rovers forward Brereton-Diaz, along with the likes of Leeds United, Sevilla and Nice.

Blackburn had set an asking price of £15 million for the 23-year-old, which was considerably higher than the interested clubs were expecting, as the player’s contract expires in the summer.
