As the season’s conclusion draws near, West Ham United will be preparing for a very busy and important summer, and the rumor mill regarding transfers has undoubtedly picked up speed. According to reports, West Ham United has made first contact about hiring Samuel Chukwueze this summer. Samuel Chukwueze, a 24-year-old striker for Villarreal, is reportedly firmly on West Ham’s radar ahead of the summer transfer window, according to the Spanish website Fichajes.net.
West Ham has been associated with Chukwueze for years, most notably just last month. Hammers boss David Moyes needs to bolster his attacking squad at the London Stadium this summer. Danny Ings and Gianluca Scamacca have had trouble adjusting to the Scot’s way of doing things.
Michail Antonio, meanwhile, has been closely linked to a departure. And it seems like Moyes is poised to give the team what we really need: blistering pace. The Nigeria International is on the Hammers’ radar, claims Fichajes.net.
This kind of acquisition is exactly what Moyes ought to be doing, in my opinion. Because of our extreme lack of speed, we are a team that is easy to play against and predictable. As one of the quickest strikers in the world, he would significantly penetrate defenses for West Ham in the final third.
No Wonder Chukwueze Is Under Moyes’ Radar

Chukwueze is not your typical center-forward. He is a dangerously exciting young prospect who can play anywhere throughout the front line. He possesses tremendous mobility and is a defender’s nightmare, in addition to his rapid pace.
This season, he has 13 goals and 11 assists in 49 appearances for Villarreal (Transfermarkt). He appears to be well suited to the frantic pace of Premier League play. This summer, the 24-year-old might be available for roughly £36 million. That appears to be excellent value for the Hammers.
West Ham with no doubt will also be a far more dangerous club for the upcoming season and beyond if West Ham signs Samuel Chukwueze during the summer transfer window. Chukwueze’s priorities are still up in the air, but it could be a good idea for him to try his luck at the London Stadium to increase his chances of playing for the first team.
