# Virals: West Ham ‘want’ Bristol City striker Antoine Semenyo

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2022/03/03/pundit-lauds-west-ham-midfielder-declan-rice-despite-defeat/) reportedly ‘want’ to sign highly-rated Bristol City striker Antoine Semenyo.

The Hammers are believed to be keen on the 22-year-old but will face tough competition from [Scottish Premiership](https://www.skysports.com/scottish-premier-table) leaders Celtic.

Named the [Championship Player of the Month](https://www.efl.com/news/2022/february/januarys-sky-bet-efl-manager-and-player-of-the-month-winners/#:~:text=Bristol%20City%20striker%20Antoine%20Semenyo,of%20the%20Month%20for%20January.) in January, Semenyo has been in outstanding form so far this season.

According to a report from the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/west-ham-celtic-chelsea-transfer-26370941), as previously suggested elsewhere, the Hammers are in the mix to land the youngster at the end of the season.

The report claims that David Moyes is ‘aiming to bring in support’ for Michail Antonio in the summer and the [ex-Newport County loan star](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/antoine-semenyo/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/583255) is in contention.

So far this season Semenyo – hailed as [‘dangerous’](https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sunderland-boss-full-praise-antoine-3884023) by Phil Parkinson – has [scored six times and provided eight assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/antoine-semenyo/leistungsdaten/spieler/583255) in 22 appearances across all competitions.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £1.08million and under contract until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/antoine-semenyo/marktwertverlauf/spieler/583255)), signing the pacey attacker for the mooted £15million fee would be on the expensive side.

However, versatile, young and boasting a [range of exciting attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/357073/Show/Antoine-Semenyo), it’s clear to see why both West Ham and Celtic would be keen on the starlet.

At a lesser price, this is certainly a move Moyes should be seriously considering in order to bolster the [squad](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) at the London Stadium.
