Talks held: West Ham make move for 'extraordinary' 87-goal striker- report

West Ham United are making moves behind-the-scenes after completing the capture of Nayed Aguerd from Rennes with news emerging on striker Giovanni Simeone.

According to reports, Irons boss David Moyes is seriously gearing up for what could be a ‘very busy’ window as seeks to make ‘at least’ six new signings for the club (Dharmesh Sheth).

A striker is said to be firmly on the agenda amid serious links to Chelsea forward Armando Broja, who could cost in the region of around £25 million to bring across London.

While the Premier League forward is thought to be a target, the Irons have other options, with 90min sharing news on Simeone.

As per their information, a major update has come to light involving the Hammers and Hellas Verona’s frontman.

90min claim that West Ham ‘talks have been held’ with Simeone’s agents over a possible move to the London Stadium.

It is added that Moyes and co are paying ‘close attention’ to the Argentine after his fine Serie A season over 2021/2022.

A possible alterative to Broja, we believe the 26-year-old could be a serious asset under manager Moyes.

Bagging a career total 87 goals, Simeone scored 17 of them on loan in Verona over 2021/2022 – drawing acclaim from members of the media.

Indeed, Radio/TV pundit and freelance football writer Adeyemi Adesanya branded the South American ‘extraordinary’ last season for his brilliant run of form and now may be the time for him to think about joining West Ham in England.
