According to a recent source, West Ham United is in talks to sign a new striker in January who is currently competing in the Premier League.Present choices for David Moyes
At center forward, the Irons currently have Michail Antonio, and Divin Mubama as their natural alternatives. However, it makes sense that the management would want to join the market to increase their numbers in that area.
Given that Antonio is only 19 years old and has struggled to stay fit due to injuries this season, David Moyes will be aware that he has to add another veteran poacher to his ranks to create competition for spots in addition to cover.
Odsonne Edouard of Crystal Palace, who has made 81 appearances overall since joining Selhurst Park from Celtic back in 2021, has been singled out by the London Stadium coach as a possible contender (Transfermarkt – Edouard statistics).
According to WhoScored’s Crystal Palace statistics, the Frenchman has solidified his position as Roy Hodgson’s best-performing offensive player thus far this season. His strong play has also attracted the attention of the Hammers board.
Plotting by West Ham to acquire Odsonne Edouard
West Ham is reportedly considering making a move for Edouard during the forthcoming transfer window in the new year. This information is based on Football Transfers.
Pablo Fornals may quit David Moyes’ team, while West Ham is considering a January transfer deal for Crystal Palace forward Odsonne Edouard, FootballTransfers can exclusively disclose. One option that is being carefully considered is Edouard, as Crystal Palace is willing to let the former Celtic forward leave.
“FootballTransfers has been informed that the agreement may be for a loan or a permanent position, but West Ham’s willingness to pay for the forward is still unknown.”
Edouard has already scored five goals in the Premier League this season from his first 12 games, demonstrating his versatility in the final third and his ability to consistently threaten the opposition even when the outcome isn’t always what they want.
Standing at 6 foot 1, Hodgson’s £90k-per-week earner (Crystal Palace salaries), has recorded 33 shots over the course of the current campaign which is more than any of his fellow teammates (FBRef – Crystal Palace statistics), highlighting what a standout performer he is in comparison to his peers.
The Kourou native is also a versatile operator having been deployed in five various positions over the pitch since the start of his career, including everywhere across the frontline and as an attacking midfielder, so he would be able to easily adapt to the demands of the manager.
According to talent scout Jacek Kulig, Edouard is a “goal machine”, and considering that he even shares the same representative, CAA Stellar, as James Ward-Prowse (West Ham agents), this existing connection that his management already have to the club could give them a small advantage should they try to get a deal over the line in January.
