West Ham United have been heavily linked Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu.
Many West Ham fans had probably never heard of Onuachu until a couple of weeks ago.
But he is the latest striker being linked with a move to West Ham this summer.
All Nigeria Soccer first reported West Ham’s alleged interest earlier this month.

And Own Goal Nigeria claimed the Hammers were leading the chase for the giant 6ft 7in Genk forward recently.
This week rumours have abound that Onuachu’s agent has been in London for talks with West Ham and potentially Brighton over a possible move.
And now West Ham insiders Claret and Hugh have delivered their verdict, telling fans ‘you never know’.
“The website (Own Goal Nigeria) goes on to say that his representative will talk to both clubs over personal terms,” Claret and Hugh state.

“It will be up to the clubs to negotiate a transfer fee for a player valued at around £22m. The report has all the hallmarks of an agent promoting their client however that is not to say there could be an element of truth in it.
“David Moyes is is the market for a striker so you never know.”
It is the worst kept secret in football that West Ham are looking to sign a striker this summer.
So it is no surprise to see the club linked with all and sundry as some agents look to engineer moves for their clients.
