Hammers boss David Moyes will be desperate to bolster his attacking ranks at the London Stadium this summer.
Samuel Chukwueze would be a superb addition for West Ham.
Sure, he’s not an orthodox centre-forward. He can play anywhere along the front-line, however, and is a frightening talent.
The 21-year-old has exceptional pace and possess terrific movement according to well known scouting website Breaking The Lines.
West Ham target Samuel Chukwueze open to Premier League move
That’s according to La Razon who claim that the Nigeria international could ‘abandon’ Villarreal in the summer.
Chukwueze has so much talent and potential. If David Moyes manages to bring him to the London Stadium this summer it would be a big statement of intent from the Hammers.
There is one big problem for West Ham, however. The Nigerian speedster has an €80 million (£69 million) release clause inserted into his current contract with Villarreal (La Razon).
If the 21-year-old is in fact so keen to leave the La Liga side, however, and with his contract at the Estadio de la Cerámica due to expire in two years, there is every chance that Villarreal could decide to sell him for a reasonable fee this summer.
And what an incredible signing Chukwueze would be for West Ham.
