A particular striker seems eager to join West Ham United during the January transfer window.

West Ham has long been in need of a striker who can effectively adapt to David Moyes’ tactical system. It appears that the Hammers may be moving incrementally closer to securing the perfect candidate for the role at the London Stadium in this transfer window.

Boulaye Dia is a forward with whom the club has been persistently linked over the past couple of years, dating back to 2021. Now, there seems to be a genuine opportunity for West Ham to finally bring the 27-year-old to the club.

Based on a recent report from Calcio Salernitana, Dia’s primary desire is to join West Ham this month. Moreover, Salernitana is now seeking just €15 million (£12 million) for the Senegalese international, making it a compelling proposition for West Ham. Dia is expected to be a significant improvement over Michail Antonio, boasting remarkable strength, abundant energy, impressive pace, and the ability to play with his back to goal. His selfless runs into the channels to aid the team further enhance his value.

If the reports of Dia’s strong interest in a transfer to West Ham are indeed accurate, Moyes should swiftly act on this opportunity. The addition of Dia could potentially transform the team into an incredibly formidable unit. Acquiring a potent striker who perfectly complements Moyes’s system, as Dia is believed to, would be a game-changer for the club.
