The East London outfit have been heavily linked with a move to sign the 21-year-old forward for around £34 million already this summer – and we’re apparently in pole position to acquire his signature.
Hammers boss David Moyes desperately needs to add a top-class striker to his ranks at the London Stadium, having sold Gianluca Scamacca to Atalanta.

West Ham have now opened talks to sign speed-demon attacker Hugo Ekitike
Dharmesh Sheth has claimed that the Hammers are currently in dialogue with PSG about bringing the young Frenchman to the London Stadium.

The PSG forward possesses absolutely blistering pace and has incredible movement. He’s a very good finisher indeed as well.
Ekitike would be perfect for Moyes’s counter-attacking setup at the London Stadium.
And I’ll be a very happy man if he joins West Ham this summer, whether that be on loan or a permanent deal.
