# Virals: West Ham ‘unfazed’ by Roman Yaremchuk price tag

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/06/18/kevin-campbell-claims-james-tarkowski-to-west-ham-is-set-in-stone/) are said to be ‘unfazed’ by the price tag placed on Gent striker [Roman Yaremchuk](https://readwestham.com/2021/06/16/virals-west-ham-are-interested-in-ukranian-striker-roman-yaremchuk/).

The Hammers have emerged as the leading club interested in the Ukrainian star – currently enjoying [spectacular](https://www.sofascore.com/player/roman-yaremchuk/829296) Euro 2020 competition alongside Iron, Andriy Yarmolenko.

Yaremchuk is among the [top scorers](https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/top-scorer/#/) at the European Championships having netted twice in the nations opening two matches.

According to a report from [Calciomercato.it](https://www.calciomercato.it/2021/06/17/cm-it-calciomercato-euro-2020-yaremchuk-costa-tanto-wolfsburg-sorpassato/), as cited by [RumorsTransfersNews24/7](https://twitter.com/rumorstransfers) on Twitter, David Moyes could end the centre-forward hunt with the 25-year-old.

The report claims the Belgian Jupiler Pro League side will demand a fee in the region of £25.5million for the [26-cap star](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roman-yaremchuk/nationalmannschaft/spieler/221958/verein_id/3699) – who is also [attracting interest](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1450218/West-Ham-transfer-news-Gent-Ukraine-striker-Roman-Yaremchuk-Euro-2020) from Arsenal, Sevilla, Bayer Leverkusen, Sporting Lisbon and Wolfsburg.

Yaremchuk enjoyed a superb 2020/21 campaign – scoring [23 goals and providing eight assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roman-yaremchuk/leistungsdaten/spieler/221958) in 43 appearances.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

It’s little surprise the Hammers would be willing to shell out the current demands.

As the Euros [continue to unfold](https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/news/0254-0d41684d1216-06773df7faed-1000--euro-2020-all-the-fixtures/), the Ukranian’s stock could continue to rise, as may the asking price.

Although predominantly operating as a central striker, Yaremchuk can also drop into midfield and play on either wing – offering beneficial [additional versatility](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roman-yaremchuk/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/221958) to the Irons squad.

Currently valued at £13.5million ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roman-yaremchuk/marktwertverlauf/spieler/221958)), West Ham would be pulling off a major coup were they to win the race this summer.
