western ham United have been over-reliant on Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus in the attacking third this season and it goes without saying that Julen Lopetegui needs one or two more players in his attacking department sooner rather than later.
While the Spaniard would ideally like a striker, given Niklas Fullkrug's struggle with form and fitness, as well as Michail Antonio's car accident, the addition of a winger is not ruled out, especially with Kudus linked with his departure from the London stadium.
According to Spanish source Fichajes (h/t 90min), the Hammers are considering a move for Galatasaray striker Hakim Ziyech in the winter, but will face competition from Ipswich Town for the Moroccan international's services. Ziyech has publicly announced plans to leave the Turkish giants in the summer, putting West Ham on alert.
Ziyech, a good addition in the medium term
West Ham have several problems in their squad at the moment and could do with the addition of an experienced figure like Hakim Ziyech, who will be a good medium-term solution to their attacking concerns. That said, the former Ajax Amsterdam star could even be available for a lower price given that things between him and Galatasaray have turned sour.
Lopetegui and West Ham can hope Ziyech settles at the club. Not only is London a place where he has lived before, but he also enjoyed a few successful years in Chelseathe books, which included winning the champions league in 2021.
He is capable of playing on either flank or as a number 10, so even if Mohammed Kudus ends up staying at the club, West Ham can use Ziyech and Bowen alongside the Ghanaian speedster.
the player's rating on Transfermarkt is close to just £6 million, a figure West Ham need not think twice about spending. Ziyech promises to be a worthwhile investment and time will tell. transfer of Galatasaray will be successfully implemented in January.
