F.C. København set to lose Nils Koppen to West Ham

F.C. København may lose Nils Koppen. The club's CEO Jacob Lauesen did not hide the fact that Nils Koppen's future was somewhat uncertain after F.C. København appointed Kristjaan Speakman as the new Director of Football.

What is happening?

Nils Koppen is in advanced talks with West Ham for a role as director of recruitment. The media outlet Football Insider writes that Nils Koppen is ready to accept the role, but it depends on whether he can get his work permit in order.

Why is it important for F.C. København?

Nils Koppen was made technical director at F.C. København in March – before that, he was the recruitment manager. His departure will likely have an impact on the club's future transfer windows.

What comes next?

Sources tell Football Insider that Koppen is scheduled to attend a hearing about his work permit on Friday, and that West Ham would like to finalize the agreement shortly after.
