Hammers boss David Moyes will undoubtedly be keen to bolster his centre-forward ranks at the London Stadium in the summer transfer window.

Dembele, 26, is someone who has been extensively linked with a move to West Ham – most recently just a few months back.

And now it seems as though the Hammers have a golden chance to sign him…

West Ham now have a golden chance to sign Moussa Dembele for absolutely nothing

With Dembele having been released by Lyon, Moyes has an opportunity to bring in a top-class striker for absolutely nothing.

Former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers once labelled Moussa Dembele as an ‘immense’ striker (The Record).

The Frenchman has power and pace in abundance and is a really good finisher when presented with a goalscoring opportunity.

Dembele has bagged 70 goals and 19 assists in 172 games for Lyon and he has 152 goals in 353 career games to his name – a really impressive tally (Transfermarkt).

The Lyon striker would provide Moyes with an entirely different option through the middle, and his availability on a free transfer makes signing him somewhat of a no-brainer for the Hammers boss.

I think that Moussa Dembele would be a fine addition to the West Ham squad this summer. Let’s hope that Moyes makes it happen.
