According to a report by Football Transfers, Morten Frendrup is the subject of interest from West Ham United. The Hammers are scouring the market for a top-class ball winner heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Genoa midfielder. Meanwhile, the Serie A club will demand €20 million to part ways with the Danish international, with Wolverhampton Wanderers also keen on signing him.
Morten Frendrup has come leaps and bounds since joining Genoa from Brondby IF in January 2022. A native of Holbaek, the Dane spent his formative years in his homeland, starting his youth career in his hometown before graduating from the academy at Brondby IF.
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old has been an elite ball winner during his spell with Genoa. Frendrup has attempted and won the most tackles in Serie A this season while ranking third in duels won behind Mattia Zaccagni and Scott McTominay. The player has turned out 124 times thus far for Genoa while chipping in with six goals and six assists.
Meanwhile, Frendrup’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. Premier League clubs, in particular, are keen on signing the Danish international, with West Ham United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
West Ham United mulled over signing Morten Frendrup last summer but failed to secure his services. The continued interest in the Genoa midfielder is understandable, considering Tomas Soucek faces an uncertain future at the East London club heading into the summer transfer window.
The Czech midfielder is a target for Everton and may reunite with David Moyes at the Merseyside club in the summer transfer window. So, the Genoa midfielder has emerged as a cost-effective target for West Ham, with the Serie A club demanding around €20 million to part ways with the 24-year-old Dane.
West Ham United should have the funds to afford a deal worth €20 million to sign Frendrup from Genoa. However, Wolverhampton Wanderers are also keen on signing the Danish international in the summer transfer window.
