David Moyes currently has Michail Antonio and Danny Ings as the two recognised strikers at his disposal. West Ham United’s need to bring in a new No.9 has increased after they sold Gianluca Scamacca to Atalanta earlier this summer.
Foot Mercato state West Ham’s target list includes Paris Saint-Germain’s Hugo Ekitiké and the 26-year-old.
A meeting took place between PSG advisor Luis Campos and West Ham technical director Tim Steiden for the 21-year-old Frenchman.
It’s stated the talks were ‘considered positive’, especially since the London club can match Ekitiké’s salary and meet the Ligue 1 side’s demand. The Hammers are also looking at En-Nesyri.
The Europa Conference League winners are ‘very interested’ in the Morocco international and have already contacted both his entourage and Sevilla. The report adds En-Nesyri could ‘still leave’ the La Liga side if their request of €33m is fulfilled.
West Ham have been to told to ‘pay up or shut up’ in their pursuit of Mohammed Kudus.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Ajax have rejected a new bid from The Hammers for Kudus. The transfer fee offered by the club was reported to be worth €42m. Ajax have no intention to sell Kudus, which is a deviation from their previous encouragement.
The player is believed to be keen to move to The London Stadium, and has started the season in scintillating form. Kudus has already notched a goal and an assist in his first two Eredivisie games. Last season Kudus scored 18 goals and provided six assists for Ajax from a variety of positions.
West Ham now have a decision to make if they really want the 23-year-old Ghana international. There’s no agreement between the two clubs, however the personal terms are believed to have been agreed by the player.
The versatile attacking midfielder can operate on either flank, up front or as a number 10
