West Ham are in pole position to sign Divock Origi from AC Milan this summer, and it should be a no-brainer for David Moyes to bring him to the London Stadium.

David Moyes is leading the race to bring Divock Origi to West Ham in the summer transfer window, according to the likes of Tuttomercatoweb.

It was recently claimed that the Hammers are set to battle it out with Aston Villa for the 28-year-old forward’s signature.

Moyes clearly needs to bolster his attacking ranks at the London Stadium this summer, with Gianluca Scamacca and Danny Ings proving to be terrible fits for the Scot’s system.

The signing of someone with Premier League experience will undoubtedly appeal to the West Ham boss. And I think that bringing Origi back to England from Italy will be a no-brainer for him this summer…

West Ham signing Divock Origi an absolute no-brainer

Tuttomercatoweb suggest that the Hammers are in pole position to sign the 28-year-old AC Milan forward this summer.

I think that West Ham should be all over this one. He can play anywhere along the front-line, is willing to put in a real shift and has proven that he can produce the goods at the very highest level.

Origi scored a goal in the Champions League final back in 2019 so he certainly knows how to perform on the biggest stage.

He’s also very experienced in playing Premier League football. He will not need any time to settle in at West Ham and is a ‘ready-made’ striker.

The AC Milan hitman possesses a real burst of acceleration and perhaps if he is given the chance of regular game-time at West Ham, everyone would undoubtedly start to see the best of the Belgian. Origi bagged six goals and four assists in just 18 games for the Reds last season (Transfermarkt).

The former Liverpool man stands at 6ft 2in tall, so he would be a real danger for us from set-pieces.

Sempre Milan claim that AC Milan are prepared to sell him for as little as €10 million (£9 million) this summer.

And for that kind of money, it should be an absolute no-brainer for David Moyes to bring Divock Origi to West Ham before the start of next season.
