West Ham United should attempt to sign the Lazio striker this summer.
West Ham desperately need a new striker this summer, if they are to make a real push for the top seven next season.
Manuel Pellegrini currently has a really strong group of players at the London Stadium, but if he fails to add an out and out goalscorer to his ranks, the Hammers could struggle to make progress next term.
And with this in mind, West Ham should consider a move for Lazio hitman Ciro Immobile, who could be sold this summer according to Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato.
The 29-year-old has been on fire for Lazio over the past two seasons, racking up an impressive 59 goals and 21 assists in 92 appearances in all competitions, and he would be a superb addition for the Hammers.
The Italy international does most of his best work in and around the 18-yard box, and he would add a real level of potency to West Ham’s play in the final third.
Immobile is a strong centre-forward who can play with his back to goal or off the shoulder of the last defender, and his arrival at the London Stadium would undoubtedly help bring out the best in the likes of Felipe Anderson, Manuel Lanzini and Pablo Fornals.
The Mirror claims that the Lazio hitman could be sold for £45 million, and in today’s day and age, West Ham should look at that as incredibly decent value for money.
He really could take the Hammers to another level next season, and help them make a sustained push for the European places.
