West Ham United: Irons among frontrunners to sign Terem Moffi

West Ham United: Irons among frontrunners to sign Terem Moffi - Premier League

West Ham United are among the frontrunners to sign Lorient striker Terem Moffi, according to reports.

The Lowdown: West Ham making moves…

Irons manager David Moyes was hugely boosted with a crucial 2-0 win over Everton at the London Stadium today, a result which eases the pressure on his position.

West Ham have also climbed out of the relegation zone with that victory, and it’s a result that the east London club could look to build upon to salvage their season.

Jarrod Bowen’s brace to secure all three points has provided a huge lift, and with 10 days of the January transfer window remaining, things could get better for Moyes with more additions.

The Latest: West Ham ‘leading the way’ for Moffi…

According to club insider ExWHUemployee via Patreon, West Ham and Ligue 1 outfit Nice are ‘leading the way’ for in-form forward Moffi.

While the player is thought to prefer remaining in France, the Hammers are hopeful of convincing him otherwise, coming as the 23-year-old is left out of today’s Lorient matchday squad.

The Verdict: Get it done…

Over the 2022/23 season. the Nigeria international has bagged a very impressive 12 goals in 17 league starts for the French top-flight side, rivalling the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Jonathan David as the division’s top scorers.

Moffi would provide both quality and the potential to be more of a long-term signing for the Irons, given his age and his evident potential to get even better.

Dimitri Payet proved to be a West Ham bargain - how much did GSB pay for his services?

He has been called an ‘explosive talent’ by sections of the press over the last few seasons, with former Lorient boss Christophe Pelissier – now coach of Auxerre – absolutely raving over the 6 foot 3 talent.

He described Moffi as a ‘man of gold’ who ‘ticks all the boxes’ of a high-level player, and judging by plaudits like these, it’s clear why West Ham have taken a real interest in the 23-year-old.
