West Ham will be on the market for at least one new striker this summer because they aim to solve their misfortunes in this region. And they have now moved to sign one of the players who has been identified in recent months.
Lucas Paqueta should leave West Ham in summer, with Brazilian Flamengo increasingly confident of concluding an agreement for the playmaker. If it leaves, a replacement would be necessary, and one of their goals in this regard is Mario Stroeykens, who impressed Anderlecht this season.
Stroeykens, 20, has four goals and five assists this season in all competitions for Anderlecht, and this summer could be the moment when he won a Premier League move. And at this stage, West Ham is favorites to conclude an agreement.
West Ham in talks to sign Mario Stroeykens
As indicated by DH net (via West ham area), West Ham has opened discussions to sign Stroeykens this summer. But an agreement could be difficult for the Londoners while Marseille and Frankfurt – who are both likely to play in the Champions League next season – also envisage a move for the 20 -year -old.
Graham Potter is well known for his work with young players, so it would not be surprising that he was directing the interest of West Ham for Stroeykens. It is unlikely that the midfielder is too expensive, and taking into account his age, his value is more than capable of increasing considerably during a possible stay at the London Stadium.
It remains to be seen if West Ham manages to sign Stroeykens, but the fact that they move early on them will stand in good place. But given the competition, it will be very difficult to get it over the line.
