West Ham are reportedly keen on signing 35-goal star this summer – originally posted on Sportslens.com
West Ham United have been linked with a move for the Genk striker Paul Onuachu.
The 27-year-old had a remarkable campaign with the Belgian side last year and he managed to score 35 goals across all competitions.
According to Voetbal Primeur, Genk are looking to secure a club-record transfer fee for the striker and the Hammers are reportedly vying for his services.
There is no mention of the asking price in the report but it is fair to assume that the transfer will not be cheap for the Londoners.
It is no secret that West Ham are looking to bring in a goalscorer this summer.
David Moyes sold Sebastien Haller to Ajax during the January transfer window and the Hammers have had to rely on Michail Antonio as their only goalscorer since then.
Antonio has done a reasonably good job so far but he is not a natural goalscorer and the Hammers will have to bring in a quality finisher if they want to do well next season.
The Londoners will be playing in the Europa League next season and they will need more options at their disposal in order to do well in multiple competitions.
Onuachu is a clinical finisher and he is at the peak of his powers right now. He could make an immediate impact in the Premier League next season if the Hammers can agree on a deal to sign him over the coming weeks.
The chance to move to the Premier League could be tempting for the Genk striker as well. It would be the ideal step in his career right now.
