West Ham United striker Sebastien Haller is expected to sign for the Dutch giants Ajax this month.
According to reports via GFFN, the 26-year-old will sign for Ajax for a fee of around £25 million.
West Ham paid £45m for the Frenchman back in 2019 but he has failed to live up to the expectations at the London club.
Haller has managed to score just ten goals in 44 Premier League games for the Hammers so far.
It seems quite surprising that West Ham are prepared to weaken their attack midway through the season and it would be fair to assume that they have got a replacement lined up for the Frenchman.
West Ham have been linked with the likes of Joshua King and Graziano Pelle in the last few days.
It will be interesting to see if Haller can resurrect his career with the move to Ajax this month. He joined West Ham with plenty of expectations after scoring 20 goals in his final season with Eintracht Frankfurt.
There is no doubt that the Frenchman has tremendous quality and Ajax might be able to get the best out of him.
Haller struggled to adapt to the intensity and the pace of the Premier League. Furthermore, the lack of service at West Ham also limited his impact on games.
Here is how some West Ham fans have reacted to the news regarding Haller’s move to Ajax.
Haller will do absolute bits for Ajax. A team who hold the ball regardless of the opponent and play nice football. Cannot wait for him to bag In the CL for them.

Best move for both parties. Still feel there is a player there but perhaps not suited to the physicality of the Premier League and certainly not suited to the system we play.

There is a God. I don’t care if he tears it up in Holland – he doesn’t fit in with our system so no point keeping him – plus his lack of effort has annoyed the hell out of me!

Honestly, good for him. Good player that doesn’t fit our system and should be playing for a different team

Haller is a top class forward. He just isn’t suited for the way Moyes wants to play. He will succeed for Ajax.
