Evening Standard makes triple West Ham striker transfer claim as David Moyes’ focus firmly fixes on a new forward.
Signing a striker has been near the top of West Ham’s transfer priorities for the last three transfer windows.
But after sorting his goalkeeper situation, signing a new centre-back and a new central midfielder, finally getting a striker to share the load with Michail Antonio now sits right at the top of West Ham’s agenda.
The Hammers have been linked with a plethora of forwards this summer.
But three names that have been continually linked with a move to the London Stadium are Armando Broja, Ben Brereton-Diaz and Youssef En-Nesyri.
Now The Evening Standard has made a triple West Ham striker transfer claim as Moyes’ focus firmly fixes on a new forward.
The London paper, which has strong sources at West Ham, has delivered an update on the three Hammers striker targets Broja, Brereton-Diaz and En-Nesyri.
“West Ham are set to step up their striker search this week, with Chelsea forward Armando Broja the club’s leading target…” The Evening Standard reports.
“West Ham are yet to make a formal offer to the Blues, but have been involved in talks, which are expected to ramp up over the next 72 hours.
“Both Everton and Newcastle are also interested in the Albanian international, but it is understood he would prefer a move to the London Stadium, with the prospect of an initial loan not ruled out.
“Should their pursuit of Broja fail, Blackburn striker Ben Brereton Diaz, who scored 22 times in 37 Championship appearances last term, is one of a number of alternatives being considered.
“However, Sevilla are reluctant to sell forward Youssef En-Nesyri, who West Ham bid for unsuccessfully last summer.”
It is quite simply imperative that West Ham get a new striker signed to finally replace Sebastien Haller.
It has been 18 long months for Antonio since Haller departed.
And he has even moved on to a new club in that time that has passed since!
