🚨 West Ham Submit First Bid to Hijack Nottingham Forest’s Move for Igor Jesus as Talks Enter New ‘Phase’

In a surprising twist in the summer transfer window, West Ham United have made their first official bid for Brazilian forward Igor Jesus, attempting to hijack a deal that Nottingham Forest were believed to be close to finalizing.

Sources close to the negotiations suggest the Hammers have tabled a £15 million offer for the Al-Shabab striker, who has been on Forest’s radar for several weeks. Forest had reportedly agreed on personal terms and were finalizing payment structure with the Saudi club — but West Ham’s sudden intervention has thrown a wrench into those plans.

Insiders describe the situation as entering a new “critical phase,” with Igor Jesus’s representatives now reassessing their position in light of West Ham’s offer, which includes a more lucrative wage package and European competition incentives.

Forest are expected to respond swiftly, possibly improving their own proposal, but time may be against them as West Ham hope to finalize a deal before the weekend.

A source close to the player hinted: “Igor is flattered by the interest from both clubs, but West Ham’s ambition and style of play appeal to him. Discussions are ongoing.”

More developments are expected in the next 48 hours as both Premier League sides push to secure one of the Brazilian market’s most exciting prospects.
