West Ham United are keen to sign FC Copenhagen striker Jonas Wind according to a report from the Telegraph.
In other news…Report: West Ham eyeing bargain deal to sign 42-capped International from London rivals
Hammers boss David Moyes desperately needs a new striker.
Since Sebastien Haller left the London Stadium for Ajax, West Ham have been linked with at least 20 forwards.
It appears as though we are nowhere near actually signing anyone, however.
Jonas Wind newest name linked with West Ham
The Hammers want to sign the young Dane according to a report from the Telegraph.
The 21-year-old has been in fine form this season, with seven goals in 13 games to his name (Transfermarkt).
He has an impressive career record to date as well with 25 goals and 12 assists in 67 senior games for FC Copenhagen (Transfermarkt).
Wind stands at 6ft 3in tall and he is very strong in the air. He is a target man by trade.
The West Ham fans will be worried that he is in the same mould as Sebastien Haller – a player who didn’t suit David Moyes’s system one little bit.
We need not be concerned, however.
Jonas Wind would be an exciting addition for West Ham
The 21-year-old is far more athletic and mobile than the Ivory Coast international.
Football scouting and analytical website Breaking the Lines describe Jonas Wind as a physically imposing yet technically gifted striker.
He has also been compared with young Scandinavian stars Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak (Breaking the Lines).
If West Ham can pick the youngster up for a reasonable fee, it seems like somewhat of a no-brainer for David Moyes.
It is important to note, however, that the Telegraph suggest Wind moving to the London Stadium is more likely to happen in the summer rather than this month.
