Electric West Ham striker target Moise Kean has been put up for loan by Juventus and he wants a move to London.
West Ham are on the hunt for a new forward but are not making much headway in the January transfer window.
The winter window is notorious for being a difficult time to sign quality players because most clubs simply don’t want to lose their top talent midway through a season.
But a player linked with West Ham in nearly every transfer window over the last few years has just come onto the market.
The Hammers have been persistently linked with Juventus and Italy forward Moise Kean. It was reported that West Ham were weighing up signing Kean before settling on Gianluca Scamacca.
Moise Kean on London move
And if David Moyes wants the 23-year-old it looks like a deal that’s just waiting to be done.
Because electric West Ham striker target Kean has been put up for loan and wants a London move.
That’s according to journalist Dean Jones, who has also credited the Hammers with an interest once more.
Jones reports on SportsLens that the Italy international has been made available by Juve. He is said to be keen for another crack at the Premier League after a failed spell at Everton.
Not only that but ex PSG star Kean – described as electric on his day – is angling for a move to the capital too.
“Moise Kean is being made available to Premier League clubs as he searches for a loan move from Juventus before deadline day,” Jones reports.
“The Juventus striker has a host of early offers on the table from Italy, France and Spain, but sources suggest he will not make a decision on his future until options in the English top-flight have been fully explored…

“Indications suggest Kean is very determined to investigate whether there is potential for a transfer to one of the London clubs, with so many currently searching for a new striker option.
“Arsenal, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham and West Ham all have ongoing issues in attack and at least three of them are actively in the market for a forward this month. West Ham are scouring Europe for options but have not yet identified an ideal candidate, with caution being taken to their spending right now.”
The report points out that Kean is a more mature, well rounded player since his spell in the Prem with Everton.
At 23, he would fit West Ham’s new recruitment philosophy under Tim Steidten too.
And the Hammers are said to have a preference for loans with options in the January window.
So this could be one to watch.
