Blackburn Rovers set price tag for West Ham target Ben Brereton Diaz – report
Blackburn Rovers are ready to accept an offer between £12million and £15million to let West Ham United target Ben Brereton Diaz leave, according to Claret and Hugh.
The Hammers are coming off the back of an impressive campaign where they finished in the seventh spot in the league table and also cemented a spot in the semi-finals of the Europa League.
To improve things further, manager David Moyes is keen to add players to strengthen the squad and the club have been linked with a number of individuals.
One of them is Diaz and as per the latest report, the Championship club are ready to sanction the deal for a fee in the region of £15million.
The report further stated that Rovers are eager to seal the deal regarding the future of the Chile international as soon as possible.
Goalscorer
Diaz is an excellent forward, mostly known for his movement within the box. His brilliant ability to keep moving inside the box makes him a nightmare to mark for the defenders.
In the 2021-22 season with Blackburn, the Chile international scored 22 goals and provided three assists in 37 Championship appearances. He averaged 2.3 shots per goal and had a pass completion rate of 73.5% [Whoscored].
Out of those 37 appearances, only three of them came from the bench. It shows that the 23-year-old is ready for first-team action whenever required by the manager [Transfermarkt].
With West Ham clearly struggling in the previous campaign in the attacking front, largely down to injury concerns of Michael Antonio, it is important that David Moyes must not repeat the same mistake of going into another season with four competitions with just one out and out striker.
In Brereton-Diaz, he will be adding an excellent player to the West Ham contingent and therefore, it is important for the club to make the deal happen as soon as possible.
