Talks ongoing: West Ham waiting for Moyes green light to sign ‘unplayable’ new target - report

West Ham United are seemingly attempting to seal another summer signing as news comes to light involving Villarreal forward and former Championship star Arnaut Danjuma.

As per Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth, the Irons and their manager David Moyes could be ‘very busy’ this summer as the east Londoners allegedly set their sights on ‘at least’ six potential upgrades.

This comes after West Ham sealed a deal for Morocco international centre-back Nayef Aguerd, while it is believed that the Hammers have also made an offer to Jesse Lingard.

Moyes apparently wants to bolster his attacking options, and news has now come to light involving a new transfer target.

According to Relevo and their journalist Toni Juanmarti, the Premier League club have set their sights on Dajuma after his impressive first campaign in La Liga.

They claimed that West Ham are negotiating the Dutchman’s signing for €36m (£31m) ‘plus variables’, adding that Moyes will have the ‘last word’ on whether or not it goes through.

As the Hammers seemingly wait on the green light from Moyes, we believe that the Scotsman needs to give this transfer serious consideration.

Called “near enough unplayable” earlier in the 2021/22 season by pundit Owen Hargreaves, Danjuma finished the campaign as Villarreal’s biggest provider of goals and assists combined (WhoScored).

He also averaged their most attempts at goal per 90 in the Spanish top flight and ranked as one of their top five best-performing players according to WhoScored metrics.

If the Irons could successfully complete a deal for the Netherlands international, it’s safe to say that Unai Emery’s loss would be Moyes’ gain.
