According to a report by Give Me Sport, West Ham United are seeking assurances whether Breel Embolo is interested in a move to the East London club. The 75-cap Swiss international has done quite well for AS Monaco this season with 16 goal contributions, and he could be available for a cut-price deal.
The player is entering the final 12 months of his contract this summer, and he is likely to be available for a reasonable amount of money. West Ham would do well to secure his signature. It is no secret that they need attacking reinforcements this summer.
Danny Ings is set to leave the club in the summer, and summer signing Niclas Fullkrug has been quite underwhelming. He has struggled with persistent injuries as well. Signing a quality striker will be a top priority for West Ham United, heading into the summer transfer window.
A quality striker could make a huge difference for them in the final third. Jarrod Bowen has not had ample support in the final third this season, and a quality centre-forward could bring out the best in the Englishman as well. It will be interesting to see if the Swiss international is interested in a move to the Premier League.
It could be an exciting opportunity for Embolo at this stage of his career. West Ham have an ambitious project and a talented squad. They could be pushing for European qualification with the right additions in the summer. Meanwhile, the striker is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to test himself at a high level. Moving to the Premier League would be ideal for him. It remains to be seen whether he is keen on the move.
West Ham certainly have the finances to get the deal across the line, and they will be hoping to wrap up the move quickly. They need to improve their adequately to bounce back strongly. This has been a disappointing season for them, and the club of their stature will be aiming higher.
