# West Ham fans react as Boulaye Dia speculation heats up

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/01/14/west-ham-could-benefit-pau-lopez-value-plummets/) manager David Moyes may have decided upon his favoured centre-forward choice as he looks to fill the [void left by Sebastien Haller’s move to Ajax](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55576847) and many the Irons faithful have reacted to the Scotsman’s intended target.

With [reports emerging](https://www.eurosport.fr/football/premier-league/2018-2019/convaincu-par-dia-west-ham-est-pret-a-s-aligner-sur-les-demandes-de-reims_sto8066564/story.shtml) that the Hammers have made an offer for Reims striker [Boulaye Dia](https://readwestham.com/2021/01/14/report-west-ham-open-bidding-for-boulaye-dia/), there is a growing feeling that Moyes may have identified his man – although the offer may have fallen short of the Ligue 1 club’s €15m (£13.32m) asking price.

The 24-year-old has been [sensational](https://www.sofascore.com/player/dia-boulaye/960080) this season and is [currently level](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/french-ligue-one/top-scorers) atop the Ligue 1 scoring charts alongside PSG star Kylian Mbappe.

Whilst the West Ham hierarchy of David Sullivan, David Gold and Karren Brady may have to loosen the purse strings a bit more to land the Senegal international, some of the Irons faithful have urged the club’s owners to do just that in order to sign “the next big thing”.

Here’s a pick of the reactions from West Ham fans on Twitter…
