West Ham is ready to compete with Manchester United for Stuttgart attacker Serhou Guirassy in a low-cost transfer.
Following a stellar season for the German club, the Stuttgart striker is gaining a lot of attention.
Guirassy has 16 Bundesliga goals and 18 total in just 15 appearances this season.
Only Harry Kane has scored more (20) goals in the German Bundesliga this season.
That kind of form has piqued the interest of Hammers sporting director Tim Steidten, who is looking to improve his team’s offensive options.
After selling Gianluca Scamacca to Atalanta, West Ham decided not to buy another striker, so Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio have been playing the role this season.
Due to a release provision in his contract, Guirassy might be available for a discount sum of £15 million, making him an appealing offer for Premier League clubs.
Fulham joined their two Premier League rivals in having scouts present in Stuttgart’s 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich at the weekend, with Man United also considering a move as they attempt to add more goals to Erik ten Hag’s side.
West Ham is having a solid season, currently sitting in eighth place in the Premier League rankings.
They also have a Carabao Cup quarter-final encounter with Liverpool this week, which will be broadcast live on talkSPORT, as well as a place in the Europa League last 16 after topping Group A with five victories from six games.
