West Ham insider ExWHUemployee has claimed that the availability of Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik has ‘been made known’ to the Hammers as the January transfer window opens.
Alongside central midfield, the striking department is the most in need of additions and 56-cap Poland star Milik could provide the answer to David Moyes’ woes.
Moyes currently has Michail Antonio and Sebastien Haller as his only frontmen, on the face of it, not bad options. However, Antonio’s injuries coupled with Haller’s inconsistencies often leave the Scottish boss bereft of ideas.
During this week’s The West Ham Way Podcast, Ex discussed possible transfer options upfront including the speculation around a move for 26-year-old Milik.
”These players’ availability has been made known to us – players that we could realistically go for. Milik at Napoli, the Polish international forward. [He’s] struggled there a little bit, although he has got quite a good goals-to-games ratio still. He is someone who is a potential signing.”
The former Ajax man is yet to make an appearance this season, fuelling the belief his future in Naples is drawing rapidly to its conclusion.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
This season’s hardship aside, Milik has an enviable goal record in previous campaigns and would be a major mid-season arrival for the Irons.
A statement signing of this magnitude would be a huge boost for Moyes as he looks to steer his side to at the very least a top-half finish this season.
