According to information from the newspaper L’Equipe, Razak Boukari, a player from Stade Rennais, is reportedly on the verge of joining West Ham in England. The Togolese international, who seems to be surplus to requirements at Rennes, is said to be heading for a trial with West Ham, a newly promoted side in the Premier League that recently acquired Alou Diarra.
Razak Boukari’s situation at Rennes appears to be uncertain, with coach Antonetti allegedly not counting on him for the upcoming season. The club’s leadership has reportedly signaled their openness to his departure. The Togolese player, known to be a fan of Thierry Henry, might be considering a move to the Premier League, following in the footsteps of the French football legend.
West Ham is said to be keenly interested in Boukari’s versatile profile, as he has the ability to play on both sides and in attack. Despite facing a challenging last season marked by injuries, Boukari’s potential has not gone unnoticed.
The report mentions that Boukari was not included in the first Rennes squad that played against Lyon, and he did not participate in a friendly match between Togo and Burkina Faso. His absence suggests that a move to West Ham might be on the horizon.
If the trial is successful, Boukari could find a new home in England with West Ham, where he might reunite with Alou Diarra, who has recently joined the club. The potential transfer would mark a new chapter in Boukari’s career and provide him with an opportunity to make an impact in the Premier League.
