West Ham United and Fulham are now interested in making a move for Union Berlin’s Sheraldo Becker ahead of next season.

Fabrizio Romano broke this story, as it seems the Hammers would like to upgrade their attack as they have seriously lacked goals up front this campaign.

With Sheraldo Becker registering 11 goals and seven assists in the Bundesliga so far, one can gauge why he has piqued West Ham United’s interest.

West Ham plotting Sheraldo Becker transfer

As Michail Antonio and Gianluca Scamacca have scored just five and three goals respectively in the Premier League, one can understand why David Moyes’ side are already assessing a move for a new No.9.

The Hammers, most importantly have survived relegation for all practical purposes, which makes it sensible for them to already plan their summer business in the hopes of coming back much stronger in the following campaign.

Well, Fabrizio Romano had news for West Ham fans as he revealed that the club have been ‘tracking’ Sheraldo Becker.

However, Fulham are also doing the same in an attempt to potentially sign the 28-year-old, with other clubs in Germany and Italy also believed to be interested in wrapping up a deal for him.

Sheraldo Becker could be a smart signing for the Hammers

First things first, with Sheraldo Becker contracted to Union Berlin until 2024, West Ham will likely not have to pay a pretty penny to sign him.

As a result, the Irons will feel at ease knowing that both the club and the player will not have the pressure of expectations that comes with bringing in a player that cost as much as Scamacca, for instance.

In addition, with Becker being a second striker in any case, he is so much more than just a poacher.

The in-form forward can drop into deeper positions and bring others into play, create chances and even thrive in wider areas.

Considering the East Londoners struggle to create chances in any case, the presence of a complete presence up front will likely aid them, if the deal is done.
