West Ham have slim hope to secure deal for Darwin Nunez
West Ham still have slim hope to sign Darwin Nunez from Benfica in the summer, according to a report from The Guardian.
The 22-year-old has been in spectacular form this season, and he is almost certain to leave the Portuguese giants in the summer.
Nunez is being targeted by a host of elite clubs, but the Hammers are not giving up on him as yet.
In case, they miss out, David Moyes could opt for Armando Broja after the Chelsea forward’s loan at Southampton ends.
Unlikely
Nunez would be a massive signing for the club if the Hammers can pull off a deal for him.
The young striker has dazzled for Benfica this season, managing 34 goals in all competitions.
He has scored in the Champions League, showing his class and quality.
Nunez could be allowed to leave in the summer, but he wants to join an elite club that can offer him Champions League football.
Still, the Hammers must make an attempt to sign him, even though he is likely to cost in the region of £70 million [Mirror].
Signing a striker is a priority for David Moyes in the summer. The failure to land a striker in January has come back to haunt them as they have missed out on a top-four this season.
The Uruguay international will provide depth and quality to the squad which will help the Hammers break into the top four next season.
Broja would be a good addition, but getting Nunez would be something else.
