Jhon Duran
West Ham United are keen to bring in a new striker before the transfer window slams shut and reports suggest they’ve identified a new top target.
Aston Villa centre-forward Jhon Duran has been
heavily linked with a move to the London Stadium, with the Hammers already having a £35m bid rejected for him
Duran added fuel to the rumours earlier this week when he made an ‘Irons’ symbol with his arms on an Instagram live – and the ‘inflammatory’ gesture is now under investigation by Villa.
Unai Emery’s side have slapped a £40m price tag on the 20-year-old, which West Ham view as excessive and they are
unwilling to pay.
Julen Lopetegui is determined to get a new striker through the door soon though and has now switched his attention to alternative targets.
According to reports from Italy,
have make a £7.5m offer for Salernitana striker Boulaye Dia.
The Hammers, along with Everton, showed interest in Dia in January but were unable to lure him away from the Serie A.
