“West Ham DESPERATE for ‘UNBELIEVABLE’ Striker Sensation – His SHOCKING Wage Demands DWARF Kudus’ Fortune!”

Dominic Calvert-Lewin could reportedly become one of West Ham United’s top earners if he joins the club this summer.

According to CaughtOffside, the Hammers are among several Premier League sides interested in signing the English striker, who is expected to demand wages of around £100,000 per week.

Calvert-Lewin is currently a free agent after parting ways with Everton earlier this summer and is yet to decide on his next move.

West Ham boss Graham Potter is seeking attacking reinforcements following his team’s lack of goals last season.

West Ham face competition from Manchester United, Newcastle United, and newly-promoted Sunderland, all of whom are monitoring the situation.

The 11-cap England international had an injury-hit final season at Everton, primarily due to a hamstring issue, but brings a wealth of Premier League experience.

Interest in Calvert-Lewin extends beyond England, with Celtic, Bundesliga clubs, MLS teams, and Saudi Pro League sides also tracking him.

The striker spent nine years at Goodison Park but struggled with fitness, especially towards the end of his time there.

The Hammers have funds available following the £55 million sale of Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham Hotspur.

Kudus reportedly earned £90,000 per week at the London Stadium, a figure that could help accommodate Calvert-Lewin’s wage demands.

Kudus failed to impress under Potter after a strong spell with David Moyes, scoring just five goals last season.

West Ham’s lack of cutting edge in attack has been a clear issue, and while Calvert-Lewin hasn’t been prolific recently, his physical presence and ability to bring teammates into play make him a valuable option.

Former player Tony Cascarino once labelled him “phenomenal.”

Calvert-Lewin isn’t the only forward on West Ham’s radar. They are also monitoring Ipswich Town winger Omari Hutchinson.

The 20-year-old caught the eye in the Championship last season and is attracting interest from multiple Premier League clubs.
