Having failed to address their striker issues with the arrival of Gianluca Scamacca this summer, West Ham United are once again on the market for a goalscorer.
That’s at least what Tuttosport are reporting on Friday, relayed by TuttoMercatoWeb, as they claim the Hammers are interested in Spezia striker M’Bala Nzola.
The 26-year-old has been one of the pleasant surprises of Serie A this season, scoring 14 goals in 25 appearances in all competitions, which is why West Ham are taking note.
The Angola international is currently being ‘courted by two teams’, with the first being Torino, who really need a new striker in their ranks.
The belief is that Nzola would cost around €5-6m, making him ‘so accessible that it would be madness not to take advantage of it’, as well as a small wage of €500k per season, that would inevitably rise with a transfer.
The problem for Torino is that there is the ‘looming shadow’ of West Ham, who are ‘extremely interested’ in him, according to Tuttosport.
