AliousAccording to Sky Sports, West Ham United is considering a move for Everton’s striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
The Hammers are looking to strengthen their attack for the upcoming season, having already signed Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme and defender Max Kilman from Wolves for £40m.
West Ham relied heavily on Jarrod Bowen for goals last season, and with Danny Ings’ transfer not meeting expectations and Michail Antonio aging, the club needs new offensive options.
The team has been linked with several strikers as Julen Lopetegui prepares for his first season as manager, replacing David Moyes.
While West Ham has shown interest in Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran, no offer has been made yet.
Sky Sports reports that Calvert-Lewin, who is in the final year of his contract, could be a potential target.
The 27-year-old English striker, valued at around £30m by Everton, has been with the Toffees since 2016, scoring 68 goals for the club.
Despite recent injury struggles, Calvert-Lewin made 38 appearances last season, scoring eight goals and providing three assists.
West Ham is also reportedly interested in Arsenal’s Reiss Nelson and Nice’s center-back Jean-Clair Todibo.
The report is met with skepticism by some, who view it as potentially speculative journalism aimed at generating clicks and ad revenue.
Critics point out Calvert-Lewin’s injury record as a concern, comparing it to Andy Carroll’s.
They express doubt about the veracity of the rumor, highlighting the challenge of distinguishing genuine news from speculation in today’s media landscape.
