West Ham now in best position to sign ‘experienced’ Rangers attacker
He’s enjoying an impressive season…
Attention can now turn to the transfer window just days before West Ham host Crystal Palace, with the Ironmen searching for forward solutions for the second half of the season.
A number of attackers have been linked with a move to the Hammers, including summer target Jon Duran. Reports suggest West Ham have had their latest bid for Aston Villa striker Duran rejected, while speculation elsewhere suggests the Hammers are planning a loan offer for Marseille striker Elie Vahi in January.
Now, another name has emerged to solve Porter’s forward selection dilemma.
West Ham United are in talks to sign Nottingham Forest striker Awoniyi
According to Jack Rosser of The Sun, West Ham United interested in signing Nottingham Forest forward Taiwo Awoniyi. Rosser claims that the Ironmen have made contact about a loan deal, but a permanent move has also been discussed, with Forest’s offer of £20 million.
Since then, Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg revealed that transfer negotiations for the Forest forward are ongoing.
The 27-year-old has fallen out of favor at Nuno Espirito Santo’s City Ground, where Chris Wood is Forest’s regular in the Premier League.
Awoniyi has been with Forest since 2022 and has a great record against West Ham United, scoring a goal three It was one of 18 goals he scored for the Reds against the Ironmen.
In fact, the Nigeria international has averaged a goal every 75 minutes against the Hammers, so he could be a shrewd loan option for Potter.
However, he has scored just once in 18 games in all competitions this season, so West Ham are likely unwilling to match the £20m asking price set by Forest, so this one is worth keeping an eye on before the deadline date.
