# West Ham face further Premier League competition for Adam Armstrong

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/06/16/west-ham-eyeing-move-for-cologne-midfielder-ellyes-skhiri/) could face yet more competition for the signature of Blackburn Rovers striker [Adam Armstrong](https://readwestham.com/2021/06/14/virals-west-ham-lead-the-face-for-adam-armstrong-signing/).

Irons manager David Moyes is [certainly in the market for a frontman](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/news/david-moyes-west-ham-striker-20213339) this summer to offer support to Michail Antonio.

Previously [linked](https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19368068.latest-interest-blackburn-rovers-top-scorer-adam-armstrong/) with the Hammers, Newcastle United and Fulham, Southampton and the newly promoted Norwich City have also been [added](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9688497/Norwich-Southampton-battle-sign-Blackburn-star-Adam-Armstrong.html) to the mix.

This is according to a fresh report from the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9688497/Norwich-Southampton-battle-sign-Blackburn-star-Adam-Armstrong.html), as cited by [MailOnline Sport](https://twitter.com/MailSport/status/1404838661770911747) on Twitter.

The report claims the 24-year-old could be available for just £8million due to entering the [final year of a contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/profil/spieler/250426) at Ewood Park.

Armstrong has certainly earned a chance to compete at the top level having left Newcastle as a youngster to seek first-team football.

A journey that has included [numerous loan spells](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/250426) and stints in the lower leagues, the former [England youth international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/nationalmannschaft/spieler/250426/verein_id/9565) found a home in Lancashire last season.

Netting a stunning [28 goals and registering five assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/leistungsdaten/spieler/250426) in 40 Championship outings, top-flight interest is of little surprise.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Previously [reported](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-would-cash-adam-armstrong-19304918) as demanding £30million for their prized asset, West Ham should waste little time in throwing their name into the hat at the current price tag.

Valued at [£14.4million](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/marktwertverlauf/spieler/250426) and with a proven record of scoring goals, signing Armstrong for as little as the mooted £8million would be a brilliant piece of business.

A natural finisher with [impressive pace](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/inside-story-adam-armstrongs-rise-20287519), the central striker would provide strong competition to Antonio whilst being [capable](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/136460/Show/Adam-Armstrong) of operating as a strike partner.
