West Ham hold talks to sign £3m centre-forward ahead of Moyes and Everton.

 

West Ham United may target Everton for a striker as they seek new attacking alternatives, according to reports.

West Ham aim to add attacking flair to the London Stadium.

Last season, the Hammers struggled for goals, which were exacerbated by Michail Antonio’s unfortunate injury difficulties, while Niclas Fullkrug and Evan Ferguson were unable to score on a consistent basis in his absence. Danny Ings has also gone on a free contract.

Former manager Martin Allen suggests that signing Serbian international Aleksandar Mitrovic from Al-Hilal could improve West Ham’s existing striker options.

“West Ham definitely needs somebody up front,” he clarified. Mitrovic excelled while he was at Fulham. Can West Ham afford to buy him for £40 million? They might not be able to. Would he succeed and blend in with their team? In my opinion, he would, and he would be better than what they now have.

Although he is by no means the only name connected to a move to the London Stadium, West Ham is apparently eager to add Mitrovic to their forward line, despite the opposition from Manchester United and his old side Fulham.

After a disappointing loan stint at AC Milan, Tammy Abraham might join the Hammers, but that would depend on whether parent club AS Roma believes that the timing is appropriate to allow the England international to return to a more comfortable environment.

With the window now open and West Ham hoping to push Everton out of the running for a gifted young forward, rumours are starting to circulate.

 

West Ham negotiates to sign Adama Bojang before Everton does.

The Express claims that West Ham is considering a transfer for Adama Bojang, a Gambian striker who played the whole previous season on loan at Grasshoppers Zurich from Stade de Reims.

Before agreeing to a £3 million transfer to France, he previously drew interest from teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City. He has a return of six goals and two assists in 27 appearances across all competitions.

Everton and Brentford are also interested in hiring “The Gambian Hurricane” as his career continues to take off, but the Hammers have a significant edge after starting negotiations for a possible signing.

Reims is reluctant to let him go. However, they might have to sell players to make ends meet if they are demoted to the second division.

Bojang is not likely to start in the first team right away, but if a deal is reached, West Ham might further reduce the age of their strike force after acquiring Daniel Cummings from Celtic to start the summer.
