Hammers boss David Moyes has been chasing Moffi for a couple of weeks now. However there has always been a discrepancy on the fee between he Ligue 1 and Premier League clubs.
It now seems as though a deal has been struck between Lorient and West Ham, with Moffi closing in on a move to England from France.
Well that’s what a bold report from France has claimed…
Terem Moffi ‘has officially left Lorient and joined West Ham’
The powerful and pacy front-man has been really impressing in Ligue 1 with Lorient this season, and his performances have drawn attention from David Moyes.
The addition of another forward will be needed if we are to achieve any kind of success this season.
French publication Mercato Plein claim that the Nigeria international striker has signed a deal with the Hammers until 2026.
And West Ham have allegedly paid £21 million to Lorient for his services…
Well that really is a bold claim if I ever saw one! Moffi will be an outstanding signing for us, if he has indeed agreed to move to the London Stadium.
What with his pace, power and finishing ability, he could take us to another level entirely.
He’s been on fire in Ligue 1 this season, with 12 goals in 18 games for Lorient to his name (Transfermarkt).
With Michail Antonio having regressed badly and potentially heading out the door, Moyes has already acted by signing Danny Ings.
And the thought of Ings, Moffi and Scamacca as our three centre-forward options is a really exciting one.
Moffi has allegedly joined West Ham. And if Mercato Plein have their info correct, it might not be too long before we see the Nigerian in the famous Claret and Blue.
