According to Goal Spain, West Ham are eyeing Cádiz CF striker Anthony ‘Choco’ Lozano as attempts to sign Youseff En-Nesyri stall.
The Hammers are working hard to find a replacement for Sebastien Haller this month, and have already been linked with a number of forwards.
Bournemouth’s Josh King, Montpellier’s Gaetan Laborde and the aforementioned En-Nesyri have all been linked with moves to the London Stadium.
However, with roughly a week left of the transfer window, Haller’s replacement is yet to be seen.
In Lozano, however, David Moyes might’ve found another option.
The Cádiz CF striker is on the Scot’s list according to Goal Spain, who add that there’s one major positive involved if the Irons were to firm up their interest.
Goal Spain say that Lozano holds a Spanish passport, which opens the door to the Premier League as he wouldn’t face major issues regarding a work permit.
While that is a big plus point, the forward’s goal tally so far this season provides cause for concern.
Lozano – who has 33 caps for Honduras – has netted just three goals in 16 La Liga appearances so far this term, while also recording two assists.
Who knows – perhaps he’d fare better in the Premier League than he does in Spain.
However, there isn’t much evidence to prove that, so bringing Lozano to England would represent a major gamble from Moyes.
