West Ham want to sign Villareal forward Gerard Moreno – report
West Ham United want to sign Villareal talisman Gerard Moreno in the upcoming summer window, according to Calciomercato.
The Italian outlet have reported on their website that the Irons will be joined by Newcastle and Jose Mourinho’s new side Roma.
Moreno has been in brilliant form this season and even scored the goal against Manchester United as his side won the Europa League this week.
The Spanish international has scored 30-goals in all competitions this season, and also managed to find the back of the net for his country.
Moreno doesn’t need a second invitation to fire home, as he proved against Manchester United when bullying Victor Lindelof.
The Guardian published a story earlier in the season, insisting that Moreno was one of the best players in Spain at this moment in time, proving his form over this La Liga campaign.
With the EUROs coming up next month, the Irons may need to move quickly if they want to secure this move before his valution could soar with a standout major tournament.
Help.
David Moyes took a big gamble this year when selling Sebastien Haller to Ajax, and not using the money to replace him in January.
The Irons were left with only Michail Antonio as their only senior option in the final third, who has serious injury issues.
If it wasn’t for the masterclass of bringing Jesse Lingard to the club on loan, there would have been no chance of us qualifying for the Europa League.
Moreno is deadly in the final third and could be the perfect addition this summer.
