WEST HAM SET TO PULL OFF THE MOST INSANE TRANSFER HEIST OF THE DECADE – STEAL AWAY PREMIER LEAGUE’S DEADLIEST 22-GOAL SCORING MACHINE IN SHOCK SWAP DEAL THAT WILL LEAVE RIVALS ABSOLUTELY FUMING! You Won’t Believe Who They’re Giving Up… (It’s NOT Who You Think!)”
West Ham are weighing up a January move for AC Milan forward Santiago Gimenez.
With Niclas Fullkrug expected to depart, West Ham will be left short of attacking options for the second half of the campaign, making it crucial for the club to bring in reinforcements.
Callum Wilson has performed well since arriving, but at 33 and with his injury record in recent years, Nuno Espirito Santo is keen to secure a younger forward who can become a long-term regular starter.
West Ham considering a Gimenez–Fullkrug swap deal
Tuttosport reports that Santiago Gimenez has been monitored by West Ham for several months, and their interest has intensified as the January transfer window approaches.
AC Milan are also in the market for a striker and, with Fullkrug looking likely to move on, a potential swap involving the two forwards could benefit both clubs.
Gimenez, a Mexico international, has endured a disappointing campaign so far and understands the need to rediscover his scoring touch, particularly in a World Cup year.
After netting 22 goals across all competitions last season, he has managed just one in 11 appearances this term and remains goalless in nine Serie A outings.
Fullkrug, by contrast, offers the physical profile that Max Allegri prefers in a centre forward—strong, tall, dominant in the air—while Gimenez is a more rounded, technically gifted striker who thrives on intelligent movement and link-up play.
Could Gimenez succeed in the Premier League?
Gimenez is a highly intelligent attacker whose movement creates space for teammates and makes him difficult for defenders to track.
His pace, close control and ability to beat his man allow him to drive into the box and get shots away.
Although he lacks the physical presence typical of many Premier League strikers, he has the qualities to flourish in the right tactical setup.
If West Ham intend to play a direct, cross-heavy style, Gimenez’s skill set may not be fully utilised.
However, if Nuno envisions a more fluid attacking structure in which the striker drops deeper to link play and rotate with the wingers, then the Milan forward could be an excellent fit for his system.
