West Ham United are reportedly keen on David Okereke.
West Ham United will be in the market for attacking reinforcements this summer, and they have been linked with an under-the-radar move today.
The Hammers finished in the top half of the table, but need more reinforcements this summer, and some youth and energy in the final third may be welcome.
Now, Tuttomercatoweb report that West Ham are interested in signing Spezia winger David Okereke, who has been impressing in Italy’s second tier.
Okereke, 21, won’t make any headlines if he does arrive at the London Stadium. The second tier of Italy is hardly viewed as a hotbed of talent, but Okereke could be hugely exciting.
The Nigerian forward, who can play out wide or up front, has been in sensational form this season, as he has racked up an impressive 10 goals and 12 assists.
Okereke possesses great pace and dribbling ability, and whilst some Serie A clubs are surely looking at him, he could be a smart purchase for West Ham.
He shouldn’t break the bank, and he can be developed behind Michail Antonio whilst playing a contributing role in attack, with his pace surely a weapon off the bench.
Manuel Pellegrini may well target big names this summer, but a move for Okereke may end up being one of the most exciting to the Hammers in the future.
