West Ham is “encouraged” by the prospect of signing a £30 million striker at London Stadium.

The Hammer’s target ‘may be receptive’ to a switch to the London Stadium.

Hugo Ekitike, a target for West Ham United, may now ‘be receptive’ to a move to the London Stadium due to one crucial element, Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth said to GIVEMESPORT.

West Ham experienced a slow start to the transfer window, but in recent weeks, the Hammers have erupted into life after spending the money they received from the Declan Rice deal. Edson Alvarez, James Ward-Prowse, and Mohammed Kudus are just a few of the players who have recently joined the east London team as manager David Moyes prepares for another challenging campaign.

The Hammers advanced quickly to the Europa League after winning the Europa Conference League the previous year. The draw on Friday will determine the opponents the capital club will face this year.

Ekitike is reportedly high on Moyes’ wishlist, but maybe more significantly, he will be eager to complete other transfers before tomorrow’s transfer deadline. Ekitike was reportedly being courted earlier this week, according to Daily Mirror columnist James Nursey, as it became apparent that the striker, who has previously been termed “incredible,” was going to leave PSG in the near future.

And now that the summer transfer window is about to close, there are rumors that Ekitike would be open to moving to the Premier League.

What has Dharmesh Sheth stated on West Ham United’s Hugo Ekitike?
While acknowledging there was still a lot of work to be done, Sky Sports reporter Sheth hinted it might be a move the Hammers are able to make when questioned about the possibility of Ekitike joining West Ham before the deadline of Friday at 11 p.m.

The dependable source explained to GIVEMESPORT the present state of affairs at the London Stadium as follows: “When you enter into transfer talks with other clubs, generally what happens is, there’s an openness from the player to maybe be open to a move to a particular club.

“Clubs often don’t enter these negotiations in the dark by attempting to organize something, having everything agreed upon with the club, and then having the agreement fall through because the player doesn’t want to show up.

“So I believe there is a possibility that West Ham are becoming more optimistic that Ekitike may be open to moving to the London stadium.”

What is West Ham United’s schedule for this week?
Despite Antonio’s great start to the season, West Ham doesn’t have many choices at the front of the attack, therefore it is obvious that Moyes wants to add a striker to his team.

Another attacker who has been connected to the capital is Youssef En-Nesyri, and journalist Paul Brown has characterized the current Sevilla star as just what they need. Regarding the Moroccan, Brown said to GIVEMESPORT: “I think it would be a good move if they can get him, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he arrives to.”

Considering that Ekitike and En-Nesyri are being considered, time will tell whether West Ham will be able to add a striker to their lineup this week.

Ekitike and En-Nesyri are now being mentioned as the most likely candidates, but time will tell if West Ham will be able to add a striker to their lineup this week.
