And the 27-year-old’s alleged dream is to move to the Premier League.
So it seems as though everything could be falling in to place as Hammers boss David Moyes tries to strengthen his centre-forward ranks at the London Stadium.
West Ham desperately need to sign another striker to compete with and provide cover for Michail Antonio.
West Ham are now prioritising move to sign striker in January
Hammers boss David Moyes allegedly has his eye on Genk hitman Paul Onuachu as the perfect January addition to his squad.
The West Ham fans will get a close look at the Nigeria international tomorrow night when West Ham face the Belgian side in the Europa League at the London Stadium.
We think that the 6ft 7in forward would be absolutely ideal for us.
The Genk hitman was on fire last season racking up 29 goals in 33 League games. He has a fairly impressive career record as well with 135 goals in 277 appearances to his name (Transfermarkt).
He has 11 goals in 15 games to his name this season as well.
Considering his height, it is no surprise that he is absolutely dominant in the air. And that would make West Ham even more dangerous from set-pieces.
Genk want around £22 million for Onuachu according to Own Goal Nigeria. That seems like good value to us.
