Virals: Dutch starlet Joshua Zirkzee has 'caught the eye' of West Ham

West Ham are reportedly interested in Bayern Munich youngster Joshua Zirkzee.

Currently enjoying a superb spell on loan at Anderlecht, the 20-year-old striker is believed to have ‘caught the eye’ of those in East London.

Already flourishing for Holland at the Under 21 level, Zirkzee has also amassed an impressive trophy haul despite rarely featuring in the successes.

According to a report from French outlet Jeunes Footeux, as cited by Sport Witness on Twitter, the Hammers are keen on the starlet.

The report claims that a mooted €10-12million (£8.3-10million) fee for the eight-cap Dutch sensation would be ‘well within reach’ of West Ham.

This season Zirkzee – described as ‘deadly’ by Joshua Kimmich – has scored 14 times and provided eight assists in 34 appearances across all competitions.

Valued at £7.2million (Transfermarkt) and under contract in Bavaria until 2023, singing the Dutchman for the mooted asking price would be an extraordinary piece of business.

Showing the early signs of a free-scoring trait, Zirkzee would be an outstanding addition to David Moyes’ squad as the Scot goes in search of help for Michail Antonio.

Create an adept finisher, adding the young ace to the ranks this summer would be a huge boost ahead of the 2022/23 campaign and beyond.
