# West Ham fans react as the club submits offer for Matty Cash

West Ham United have submitted a £10m offer for Nottingham Forest right-back Matty Cash, according to a report on [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11727/11916746/matty-cash-west-ham-offer-12m-for-nottingham-forest-right-back).

The report confirms that the deal will rise up to £12m after add ons, but the Hammers are facing competition from Southampton and Italian giants AC Milan.

The Serie A club have already put together a deal worth £15m, according to [The Athletic’s Daniel Taylor.](https://twitter.com/DTathletic/status/1220729618719744001)

The 22-year-old has made 27 league appearances so far this season for Nottingham Forest and has got his name on the scoresheet twice, whilst also providing four assists ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matty-cash/leistungsdaten/spieler/425334)).

The Hammers are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of a relegation battle and need some reinforcement in the right-back spot, with[Ryan Fredericks still a few weeks away from returning from injury.](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2020/january/06-january/ryan-fredericks-injury-update)

Pablo Zabaleta has filled in for the moment but the ageing full-back will need some of the load taken off his back – which is why the Hammers are targeting Cash.

With Milan already offering £15m, these West Ham fans are confused and disappointed at the lower offer made by the Hammers.
