Hammers boss David Moyes actually tried to bring the 28-year-old to the London Stadium in the summer of 2021 before he joined Inter Milan.

Since joining Inter, the 19-capped Argentina international has struggled to live up to his reputation with just nine goals and five assists in 67 games to his name for the Nezaruzzi (Transfermarkt).

However, David Moyes obviously still sees something about the South American forward that he likes…

West Ham eyeing up Joaquin Correa swoop

According to Inter Live, the Hammers want to sign the 28-year-old forward but could face competition from Premier League duo Aston Villa and Everton.

It is also suggested that the former Lazio star will be available for just €15 million (£13 million) in the summer transfer window.

That fee would represent truly outstanding value for West Ham in my opinion.

The South American has electric pace and exceptional balance according to well-renowned scouting website Total Football Analysis.

Correa can play anywhere along the front-line, and plays with a certain kind of directness that we really lack at the moment.

A bonus for the Hammers is that the 28-year-old plays with typical Argentinian tenacity and aggression as well, so he should be perfectly suited to the Premier League.

West Ham signing Joaquin Correa may well be a great move for us. And the fact that he’s available for just £13 million makes a deal to sign him somewhat of a no-brainer for the Hammers in my opinion.
