Sheffield Wednesday deserve credit for being stern a few years ago as it looks like they have a brilliant young striker on their hands.
Even though the club sit bottom of the Championship with things not looking great the fans can have some optimism about Bailey Cadamarteri.
He attracted interest a couple of years ago from the Premier League and it has been confirmed that West Ham put a bid in for him, his father Danny confirmed.
Speaking to the football-league paper via The Star he said: “West Ham made bids for Bailey two years ago but they were turned down and he’s now on a long-term contract.”
So now it remains to be seen just how well Cadamarteri can do in the Championship with his talent already being scouted by some of the top clubs in the country.
Do West Ham regret not upping their bid for Bailey Cadamarteri?
When West Ham had made their offer for Cadamarteri he was only 16-years-old but with how players develop these days it is very likely that he would have been around the first-team squad.
Since then he has continued his development in the academy whilst recently making his senior debut for Sheffield Wednesday in the 4-0 defeat against Millwall last weekend.
David Moyes opted not to sign another striker in the summer window as Michail Antonio remains his first choice with Danny Ings as the back-up however he has started to go with Jarrod Bowen down the middle in recent weeks.
Young forward Divin Mubama is also at The Hammers but he hasn’t had much game time so if they had offered more for Cadamarteri, Moyes could have had another option he’d be more willing to use.
Can Cadamarteri inspire a great escape for Sheffield Wednesday?
