West Ham’s £30 million deal for Maguire has officially been approved, according to The Athletic. Maguire had previously shown reluctance to join West Ham this summer, insisting that he wanted to stay and compete for a position in Erik ten Hag’s starting eleven.
The Hammers, on the other hand, appear to have persuaded the 30-year-old of their initiative, as personal terms are no longer expected to be a problem.
Gareth Southgate, England’s coach, is alleged to have spoken with Maguire and told him that failing to play consistently for United might jeopardize his spot in England’s international squad.
