According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, West Ham United are interested in Andrea Pinamonti, having added the striker to their growing list of options. The Hammers have asked for information regarding the Italian attacker, who has proved himself to be a reliable goalscorer over the last three seasons.
A tally of 50 goals from 212 games may not represent a profile of a top goalscorer. However, in Andrea Pinamonti’s case, he has double figures in each of his last three Serie A seasons, which has given him the tag of a reliable goalscorer.
The Sassuolo star has played for three different clubs in as many seasons, having been on loan at Serie A club Genoa in the most recent campaign. He got 11 goals and a single assist to his name in the 2024/25 campaign, and now some credible links could see him leave his parent club.
West Ham United are one of those keen on the 1999-born Italian striker. The East London outfit are once again in the market for a reliable goalkeeper and asked for information on Pinamonti, as per the report.
The Hammers have failed with recent striker signings and will aim to get it right in this window. Hence, the links to Pinamonti or others should be considered with caution, especially after their investment in Niclas Fullkrug last summer did not bear dividends, as the jury is still out on the German star.
The future of Michail Antonio remains unclear, while Fullkrug has not hit the ground running amid a loss in form and injury issues. Moreover, their idea of bringing Evan Ferguson on loan in January backfired, so Graham Potter is expected to choose his next No.9 rather carefully. There are some names linked with the Hammers, including Georges Mikautadze from Lyon.
Atalanta’s El Bilal Toure is another option that West Ham are considering. There are others likely to come up in reports as the window progresses, with the 1999-born Italian striker Pinamonti the latest on their list of centre-forward options.
