A report has claimed that David Moyes is a big fan of Boulaye Dia with Gianluca Scamacca facing an uncertain future with West Ham.
According to The Mirror, West Ham boss David Moyes could sign Boulaye Dia this summer, with the future of Gianluca Scamacca currently shrouded in doubt.
The Senegalese hitman is an absolute powerhouse of a forward and is very similar to Michail Antonio in the way that he plays.
So it’s no surprise at all that Moyes is keen to bring him to the London Stadium…
West Ham boss David Moyes eyes Boulaye Dia swoop
The Mirror reckon that the Scot is a very big fan of the 26-year-old striker.
Dia is incredibly powerful, proficient at playing with his back to goal and holding the ball up and is well-renowned for making tireless runs into the channels.
He is a good finisher as well, with 15 goals in 31 games for Salernitana this season. He has 73 career goals for club and country to his name as well.
Now, the striker is currently on loan with Salernitana from Villarreal, and the Italian outfit have an option to buy him for around €12 million (£10 million), according to Tutto Salernitana.
If Salernitana take up that option, they could then sell him on for a profit. It is believed that the Serie A side would demand around £17 million from West Ham for Boualye Dia.
I think that fee would represent really good value for the Hammers.
And I believe that Boulaye Dia could be an upgrade on Michail Antonio for West Ham. However, I really don’t believe that we should be selling Gianluca Scamacca and replacing him with the Senegal international.
