£30m player West Ham want to buy has just been transfer listed

West Ham United fans will probably tell you that the club has needed a new striker for as long as they can remember.

Perhaps in hindsight David Moyes sold Gianluca Scamacca too early, especially considering the club didn’t sign a replacement.

Danny Ings simply doesn’t seem to have the quality to cover for Michail Antonio whilst he’s injured.

And with Jarrod Bowen still primarily a winger, Moyes’ West Ham side definitely need a new striker.

That being said, the club may have just received some excellent news by way of Chelsea.

West Ham have long been linked with Armando Broja, an increasingly peripheral figure in West London.

And via journalist David Ornstein who just shared an update on , it seems Broja could be available this month.

Chelsea are now willing to let the striker leave on a permanent basis in January if a suitable offer is agreed.

And whilst was the price tag mentioned in the past, The Hammers may hope to achieve better value.

Chelsea won’t need a replacement in order to sell, which could make a move a lot easier.

West Ham are crying out for a new striker like Armando Broja

Considering how much Moyes’ has achieved with his team in the first half of the season, now seems like the perfect opportunity to invest.

West Ham have been so unfortunate with injures to key players like Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen recently.

And with Mohammed Kudus also now at AFCON, it seems imperative that the club strengthen this month.

Although a lot of money has been invested into Danny Ings, West Ham would still be better off seeking a new striker.

And with Broja now available via very reliable reports, it seems like a no brainer.

The 22-year-old still looks to have so much untapped potential, and his success with Southampton in the top flight shouldn’t be forgotten.
