Hammers boss David Moyes desperately needs to add some pace to his front-line at the London Stadium this summer.

And its seems as though the young Manchester United star is one of Moyes’s main targets…

West Ham locked in battle to sign Manchester United ace in the summer transfer window

90 Min suggest that Moyes wants to bring Diallo to the London Stadium, but will need to beat off competition from three other Premier League clubs in order to make that happen.

The three-capped Ivory Coast international is a right winger by trade but can play on the left wing as well, or even in the number 10 position.

Diallo has incredible pace and an exceptional left foot. When playing out on the right wing, he usually cuts back inside much like Jarrod Bowen does, and he would provide excellent competition for the 26-year-old Hammers star.

He’s not just a one trick pony though. The Ivorian played a lot as a central attacking midfielder for Sunderland last season, during his loan spell at the Stadium of Light.

He was on fire for the Black Cats, and bagged 14 goals and four assists in 42 games (Transfermarkt).

The 20-year-old was signed by Manchester United in January 2021, but has played only nine games in all competitions for the Premier League giants.

Considering Man United’s attacking options, he will undoubtedly struggle for regular action at Old Trafford next season, so a loan move to the Hammers would certainly be very beneficial for him.

And if West Ham sign Amad Diallo in the summer transfer window, it think it would be a great deal for all parties involved.
