David Moyes ‘tracking’ Jonas Wind as FC Copenhagen striker in top two West Ham January targets
David Moyes has been “tracking” FC Copenhagen centre-forward Jonas Wind and he would cost West Ham £11.5million in January.
That’s according to the Mirror‘s Darren Lewis, who claims the 22-year-old is one of two top targets for the Irons during the winter transfer window, alongside FC Basel’s Arthur Cabral.
The Basel striker would cost more than Wind as he is rated at £15million.
Moyes on the move
Wind has wowed this season, scoring 11 times after netting 20 for club and country last season.
The Denmark international has experience in Europe, scoring four goals in 10 Europa Conference League appearances this season, as well as four in the Europa League over the previous two seasons.
He also played twice at Euro 2020.
West Ham will have to make a decision between him and Cabral, though, as the East London club surely won’t treble the number of centre-forwards on their books in January.
Currently, Michail Antonio is the only senior frontman at the London Stadium, and signing a deputy, who can also act as a challenger, could prove pivotal to the eventual success of their 2021/22 campaign.
As the cheaper and slightly younger option, Wind could emerge as the frontrunner, particularly due to the reported level of interest in Cabral, with the 23-year-old linked to Barcelona [Goal Italy].
In other West Ham news, David Moyes was ‘absolutely furious’ at this Irons star against Manchester City.
