# Virals: West Ham have Montpellier ace Stephy Mavididi in their ‘sights’

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2022/01/25/virals-west-ham-deliberating-over-move-for-ben-brereton-diaz/) are reportedly interested in Montpellier forward Stephy Mavididi as the January transfer deadline day comes into view.

The Hammers are believed to be keen on the well-travelled 23-year-old as David Moyes looks to make late additions to the [squad](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) at the London Stadium.

Currently plying his trade in Ligue 1, Mavididi [spent time](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/stephy-mavididi/transfers/spieler/340328) at Southend United, Arsenal, Charlton Athletic, Preston North End and Juventus before landing in France.

According to a report from [TuttoMercatoWeb](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/tmw-scoperto-dalla-juve-in-volo-al-montpellier-west-ham-e-aston-villa-su-mavididi-1637651), as cited by [Sport Witness](https://twitter.com/Sport_Witness) on Twitter, claims that the Irons could be prepared to bring the starlet back to England.

The report claims that the [three-cap England Under 20](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/stephy-mavididi/nationalmannschaft/spieler/340328/verein_id/22907) ace is ‘in the sights’ at West Ham.

This season Mavididi has [scored eight times and provided three assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/stephy-mavididi/leistungsdaten/spieler/340328) in 21 league appearances.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £8.1million and under contract in France until 2024 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/stephy-mavididi/marktwertverlauf/spieler/340328)), signing the Derby-born forward would be an affordable venture for the Hammers.

Capable of playing across the entire frontline, Mavididi has [operated as a centre-forward](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/stephy-mavididi/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/340328) for the majority of a fledgeling career.

Noted for strong finishing ability ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/318750/Show/Stephy-Mavididi)), the versatile Englishman would appear to possess the raw attributes required to become a leading top-flight performer.
