West Ham manager David Moyes is clearly on the hunt for a new centre-forward this summer.

And if the Hammers are to make any kind of real progress next season and beyond, the addition of a new forward this summer will be an absolute must.

It seems as though Moyes will have a great chance to bring in an elite attacker for a reasonable fee as well…

Villarreal are prepared to sell Samuel Chukwueze for just €25 million (£21 million) this summer (Sempre Milan).

That’s a huge difference from when Moyes tried to bring him to the London Stadium in 2021 – with Villarreal said to be demanding €80 million (£68 million) for the 24-year-old.

This exactly the kind of signing Moyes should be making as far as I’m concerned. We are a side desperately devoid of pace and as a result, it makes us fairly easy and predictable to play against.

He is one of the quickest forwards on the planet, and would add real penetration to West Ham’s play in the final third.

Samuel Chukwueze can play anywhere along the front-line and would be a truly brilliant addition for West Ham for only £21 million.

Milan allegedly want to sign him as well so it certainly won’t be easy for Moyes to win the race for the Nigerian ace’s signature.

However, the attraction of Premier League football cannot be underestimated. And if the Hammers move in to sign the Villarreal star, I firmly believe that we could get him.
