West Ham line up £60m swoop for Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin
West Ham have reportedly lined up a £60million move for Everton ace Dominic Calvert-Lewin in January.
According to The Sun, the England international could be available for sale which has alerted David Moyes.
It has been claimed that Moyes would push the boat to acquire his services this month as there is new money at the club through Daniel Kretinsky’s investment that could help him land his top targets.
However, at the current valuation, the Irons are unlikely to make a move and will need Everton to reduce their price tag.
Tad expensive?
It was quite baffling to see the Hammers being linked with Calvert-Lewin for a club-record fee.
The club certainly need a striker this month, but they’re in no position to pay that kind of money to sign one.
While the England international would be a welcome addition, it’s unlikely that he joins West Ham this month.
The clubs that would want to sign him would be willing to pay over the top for his services and offer him astronomical wages,
Even with Kretinsky’s money, this is not a move that seems likely and the Hammers must continue their quest for a striker and sign someone in their price range who’s not been targeted by some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
