# Virals: West Ham ‘seriously considering’ move for Roman Yaremchuk

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/07/06/dean-jones-claims-declan-rice-is-seriously-considering-leaving-west-ham/) are believed to be ‘seriously considering’ a summer swoop for Gent striker Roman Yaremchuk.

As Hammers boss David Moyes welcomes a large proportion of the first-team [back to pre-season](https://www.whufc.com/) training, the requirement for an additional attacking option has never been more apparent.

The 25-year-old [impressed at Euro 2020](https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/blackburn-rovers-armstrong-yaremchuk-transfer-20856307)leading the line for Ukraine and could present an affordable option for the Irons.

That’s according to a report from [Eurosport](https://www.eurosport.com/football/transfers/2020-2021/tottenham-interest-in-franck-kessie-very-strong-bayern-munich-seek-euro-2020-star-jeremy-doku-transf_sto8406697/story.shtml), as cited by [Westham\_hub](https://twitter.com/westham_hub/status/1412397948474990592) on Twitter.

Yaremchuk [scored twice](https://www.sofascore.com/player/roman-yaremchuk/829296) in the European Championships and registered an assist before the Eastern European nation bowed out against England.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £13.5million and under contract in Belgium until 2025 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roman-yaremchuk/marktwertverlauf/spieler/221958)), signing the powerful striker would require a large outlay from the London Stadium budget.

Previously [mooted](https://sportwitness.co.uk/west-ham-not-afraid-strikers-e25-30m-asking-price-interested-deal-stars-euros/) to hold a €25-30million asking price, the Hammers would still be landing somewhat of a bargain for a high-quality goalscorer.

Albeit predominantly a central striker with [excellent](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/281025/Show/Roman-Yaremchuk) hold-up play, Yaremchuk is capable of playing in a [variety](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roman-yaremchuk/leistungsdaten/spieler/221958) of attacking positions, making the 6’2 star an ideal candidate to supplement Michail Antonio.
