West Ham United reportedly could make yet another move to sign long-term target Adam Hlozek.

Adam Hlozek was on the radar of West Ham last year, but joined Bayer Leverkusen instead, whilst we were preparing a £17 million bid to sign him.

David Moyes desperately needs to bring a top-class striker to the London Stadium in January, with Hammers duo Michail Antonio and Danny Ings failing to fire.

The Scot has built a fantastic squad at West Ham, but his centre-forward department is in desperate need of addressing.

And 90min claim that David Moyes has someone specific in mind to come in and improve his striking options…

90min reckon that the Hammers have made an enquiry for the Bayer Leverkusen forward ahead of the January transfer window.

This is really exciting news – I think he’d be a truly exceptional addition to Moyes’s ranks at the London Stadium.

Funnily enough, the 21-year-old isn’t an out-and-out striker, but Moyes loves that kind of player doesn’t he.

As well as operating as a centre-forward, the 27-capped Czech Republic international can play on either wing as well as in the number 10 position, just behind the main striker.

Popular football scouting website Football Talent Scout once described Hlozek an an ‘amazing’ talent.

Interestingly, Hammers co-owner, and Sparta Prague supremo Daniel Kretinsky gave the Hlozek to Bayer Leverkusen deal the go ahead back in the summer of 2022.

So maybe now he will put that right by bringing him to the London Stadium from Leverkusen.

And if West Ham manage to sign Adam Hlozek in the January transfer window, I feel like it would be a big step in the right direction for us.
