The 26-year-old is on the brink of David Moyes’ first-team plans and could be sold at a loss in the current window
West Ham striker Sebastien Haller is close to closing a move to the Eredivisie with Dutch giants Ajax.
Amas understands that the striker, 26, is the subject of ongoing talks between the two clubs.
The fee for its services is likely to reach around € 25 million (£ 22.6m / $ 31m), with a meeting scheduled on Thursday to finalize the agreement between all parties.
Haller is highly respected in the Netherlands, having shone in the country during a previous spell in the Eredivisie.
From 2015 to 2017 the Ivory Coast international star was with Utrecht, having landed at the club after struggling to establish himself at Auxerre.
He scored 51 goals in total in 98 games for Utrecht, a form that earned him a move to the Bundesliga alongside Frankfurt.
And after two years in Germany, West Ham woke up in 2019 to make it part of their squad in a £ 45 million move.
Haller, however, never fully believed in the Premier League, starting just 10 games in the current campaign.
A spectacular kick over Crystal Palace back in December was a real sign for the striker, who expressed hope that the goal would help him build his confidence and stay in David Moyes’ plans. .
“In fact, I used to get a visit like that every season, so I’m used to it! ”He explained on the official West Ham website.
“I think it’s kind of special and I’m just happy that it was a beautiful goal and it helped us get one point. I think we deserved three and we should be away for all three, but I’m happy.
“I got two last season, against Watford and Bournemouth, so hopefully I get another one on Monday at Chelsea – that’s all I wanted, a goal like that! “It’s good for the eyes, for confidence and for everything, but a goal is a goal and in the end there is only one goal.”
Haller, who represented France across the youth divisions before choosing to represent Ivory Coast at the top, has played 54 games in all competitions for West Ham so far, receiving 14 visit.
