West Ham are reported to be keen on Yann Karamoh.
If you offered most West Ham the chance to sign a player nicknamed the ‘next Mbappe’, most would jump at it.
With reported target Yann Karamoh, the comparisons might be a bit too generous.
Karamoh, 19, joined Inter last summer from Caen with a big reputation.
The Express reported last year how Karamoh is compared to Kylian Mbappe – but his goal return does not show it.
He had just five first team goals for Caen before his switch – and at Inter Milan he has only one.
Karamoh has been utilised as more of a winger than a striker, and really deserves to be judged on his own merits – rather than against Mbappe who has 47 goals in the past two seasons.
Even so, Karamoh is a player who West Ham must question whether he is better than what they already have.
Is the 19-year-old ready to thrive in the pressure laden environment of the London Stadium?
If the Hammers wish to take the gamble then it is at their own risk, but they would be better off looking for more established targets.
