West Ham United’s pursuit of Nigerian forward John Victor has reportedly come against the wishes of both the recruitment team and the coaching staff, sparking internal tension within the club’s hierarchy. The move, believed to have been pushed through by individuals at the board level, has raised questions over the alignment between football operations and executive decision-making.
John Victor, currently playing for a mid-tier European side, has impressed with his physical presence and eye for goal. However, sources within West Ham suggest that the club’s scouts and coaching staff had identified other priority targets better suited to the team’s tactical needs and Premier League demands. Concerns have also been raised regarding John’s adaptation to the English game, particularly his consistency, decision-making under pressure, and ability to fit into West Ham’s current attacking structure.
