West Ham winning the race to sign this 23-year-old sharpshooter would fire up their attack massively
Why West Ham should try to win the race for Shon Weissman
According to Football London, West Ham have been credited with an interest in Israeli striker Shon Weissman, who currently plies his trade with Wolfsberger AC in the Austrian Bundesliga.
The Hammes, though, are not alone in the race to sign the 23-year-old in-form sharpshooter, with the report claiming that Premier League rivals Chelsea, Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur are also keen to acquire his services in January.
Shon Weissman might not be a familiar name among the English fans but the Israeli hitman is currently making waves with his incredible run of form in the Austrian top-flight.
The 23-year-old only made his move to Wolfsberger AC this summer but he has already set the house on fire in Austria with an eye-watering tally of 17 goals in 13 games across all competitions.
The 5ft. 9-inch striker rose through the youth ranks of his boyhood club Maccabi Haifa but he scored only 9 goals in 38 appearances over the course of five seasons for the Israeli giants, spending time on loan at Hapoel Acre, Maccabi Netanya and Irani Kiryat Shmona before making his move to Wolfsberger AC.
Weissman bagged three goals in his first three league games for Wolfsberger this term scoring four in a single game to help his club complete a 5-0 demolition of SV Mattersburg in August.
As well as his heroics on the domestic front in Austria, the 23-year-old has also caught the eye in the Europa League, scoring in the 4-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach on Matchday 1.
The former Macaiba Haifa man is currently following in the footsteps of his compatriot Munas Dabbur, who had fired Austrian giants RB Salzburg to the Europa League semi-finals in the 2017-18 season.
Weissman’s rich vein of form hasn’t gone unnoticed and he was handed his senior professional bow for Israel during last month’s international break in a Euro 2020 qualifier against Slovenia. And now, his stellar start to life in Austria has put him on the radar of some of the top Premier League clubs ahead of the January window.
To put things into perspective, West Ham, Leicester City and Spurs are all looking for a back-up striker in their ranks and Shon Weissman could be an ideal signing for any of the aforementioned English clubs but the Hammers should try and have the final say in this transfer saga.
The East Londoners have had a topsy-turvy start to the ongoing campaign and, while club-record signing Sebastien Haller has shown strong signs of answering their prayers for a top-quality prolific centre-forward, Manuel Pellegrini still lacks effective back-up options up top after losing Andy Carroll, Lucas Perez, Marko Arnautovic and Javier Hernandez.
West Ham brought in youngster Albian Ajeti as a part of their summer recruitment drive but the Swiss star is yet to convince that he is capable of cutting the mustard in the Premier League.
Of course, it would be unfair to write him off, given his age and potential, but bringing in another in-form striker like Weissman could be a smart move.
As the season wears on, West Ham would need adequate depth in their ranks to cope with the hectic and demanding schedule of the Premier League, as well as the FA Cup, and Shon Weissman could offer that little bit more up top for Pellegrini.

Agreed, goals in Austria are hardly exchangeable for those in the Premier League but the 23-year-old is only going to get better with time and West Ham could have a star on their hands in the future if he goes on to fulfil his potential.
With that in mind, the Hammers should not hesitate to beat off competition for the Israeli international’s services in January, provided the asking price isn’t too high to scupper their interest.

Celtic dealt major blow in pursuit of Bologna star Aaron Hickey
According to La Nazione (h/t Daily Record), Fiorentina have intensified negotiations with fellow Serie A club Bologna for the signing of Celtic target Aaron Hickey, dealing a blow to the Hoops.
Hickey started out at the academy of Scottish club Heart of Midlothian FC and briefly spent time at Celtic as well before returning to Hearts, where he graduated to the first-team and went on to make 34 senior appearances.
The young left-back, who scored and assisted one goal apiece for his boyhood club, was snapped up by Serie A side Bologna in the summer of last year. Hickey did not feature regularly for the Serie A outfit due to injury problems. Indeed, the 19-year-old featured in just 12 games throughout the 2020/21 season.
But his stock remains high as ever, as Celtic are intent on bringing him back to Scotland this summer. The Hoops, embarking on a new journey under new manager Ange Postecoglou, are looking to bolster their defensive department.
Having decided not to sign Diego Laxalt permanently, Celtic have just Boli Bolingoli and Greg Taylor as options at left-back, with the former unsure of a future after returning from loan. So, signing someone like Hickey, who can make the spot his own for the coming years, would have been a good move.
However, Fiorentina seem to have thrown a spanner in the works for Celtic as the Serie A side have upped their efforts to land the youngster from Bologna. Indeed, it is reported that La Viola have intensified negotiations over a move, although they will have to offer at least €5m to stand a chance of signing the teenager.

Bologna are in no hurry to sell Hickey and will wait for the highest bid as they look to maximise their profits. It is now up to Celtic to step up in their pursuit of the 19-year-old or risk missing out on him.
Transfer News: Rangers star Glen Kamara wanted by Everton
According to transfer news from Eurosport (h/t Glasgow Live), Premier League club Everton have entered the race to sign Glen Kamara from Scottish champions Rangers this summer.
Kamara started out his youth football in his homeland, Finland, before switching to England in 2011 when he signed for the Southend United academy. A year later, he was snapped up by Premier League giants Arsenal, where he rose through the youth ranks but couldn’t break into the first-team.
After loan spells away at Southend United and Colchester United, Kamara left Arsenal permanently in the summer of 2017, signing for Scottish club Dundee FC. The 25-year-old Finnish midfielder rose to prominence with the club and was picked up by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in the winter transfer window of 2019.
During his two-and-a-half-year stay at the Ibrox Stadium, Kamara has developed into one of the best midfielders on show in the Scottish Premiership. The Finland star played an integral role in the Gers’ title victory last season as he racked up over 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring and assisting a couple of goals apiece.

However, Kamara’s time at the Ibrox Stadium could be drawing towards a close, with Everton joining a number of other clubs in pursuit of the ex-Arsenal youngster. Indeed, the likes of Watford and Brentford have already shown an interest in the 25-year-old while an unnamed Russian club is also keen, with the Toffees also joining the bandwagon.

Given how important Kamara has been for Rangers in his time at the club, his potential departure would come as a blow. However, with his contract expiring in two years and with so many teams interested, this also represents the Gers best chance of making good money from his sale, which they can reinvest in the squad.
With a transfer fee of £15m being mentioned, the Light Blues could stand to make a massive profit, having signed him for a measly £50k in 2019.
