The Hammers have been frantically searching for a new striker since they sold Sebastien Haller to Ajax last week.
One of the names linked with a move to east London is RB Salzburg ace Patson Daka.
Area Napoli claims that West Ham are prepared to pay £22 million for the 22-year-old goalscorer.
The Hammers have been linked with other names as well, however, including the likes of Boulaye Dia (90 Min), Olivier Giroud (Eurosport) and Ismaila Sarr (the Sun).
Patson Daka wanted by West Ham boss David Moyes
It seems as though Daka is Moyes’s prime target, however.
According to a report from Area Napoli, the 22-year-old Zambian is the Scot’s preferred choice.
And it is little wonder why Moyes wants the explosive striker at West Ham.
He is absolutely ideal for us, and we should be going all out to sign him.
The 22-year-old has been in superb form for the Austrian side this season, racking up 15 goals in 17 games in all competitions. He has scored 57 goals in 129 career appearances – a remarkable record for someone so young (Transfermarkt).
The Salzburg ace possess blistering pace, incredible movement and is a constant menace for opposing defenders. He is as strong as an ox as well.
It is claimed that West Ham could be willing to pay as much as £22 million for Patson Daka. That would be excellent value. Let’s just hope and pray that the Hammers board are prepared to back David Moyes with the funds he needs this month.
