Report: West Ham officially reach out to sign 25-year-old forward for Premier League return.
West Ham United appear to be searching for a new striker ahead of the summer transfer window.
Graham Potter faces a busy summer at the London Stadium, with West Ham requiring several new signings to strengthen the squad.
A top-class striker will be Potter’s primary target, and West Ham have been linked with players such as Youssef En Nesyri.
Danny Ings is set to leave, while Michail Antonio’s future remains uncertain.
However, Potter appears to have an intriguing plan in place.
West Ham Contact Moise Kean Over a Potential Transfer
Moise Kean has emerged as a key target for the Hammers ahead of the summer transfer window.
Reports suggest that West Ham have already been linked with the 25-year-old, with a possible £43.6 million deal being discussed.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Potter is eager to bring the former Everton striker to the London Stadium.
Kean has been in impressive form for Fiorentina this season, scoring 20 goals and providing three assists in 34 appearances across all competitions (Transfermarkt).
He boasts exceptional pace and strength, making him a powerful attacking presence.
Although Kean struggled during his previous stint in the Premier League with Everton, he has since developed into a more complete and mature striker.
He could fit well into Potter’s system, but a deal may depend on Fiorentina lowering their asking price to around £30 million.
If Kean does join West Ham, it could spell the end for another player at the club.
Evan Ferguson Unlikely to Stay at West Ham
It appears increasingly unlikely that Evan Ferguson will remain at West Ham beyond this season.
Reports suggest the club is unlikely to pursue a permanent move for the Brighton striker.
Brighton are reportedly demanding around £40 million for Ferguson, according to The Guardian journalist Jacob Steinberg.
If West Ham secure Kean’s signature during the summer, there is little chance that Ferguson will stay at the London Stadium.
As Potter looks to reshape his squad, the addition of Kean could provide the firepower West Ham need while signaling the departure of other attacking options.
