Santiago Gimenez set for transfer as West Ham make contact
West Ham and Tottenham have made contact to sign Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez, according to TBR Football.
The news outlet reported on 23 January that both teams appear set to miss out on the Mexico international’s services as he’s understood to be closing in on a move to AC Milan.
It’s understood that the San Siro outfit are shelling out £34million to secure the services of the 23-year-old who’s scored 15 goals in 18 games this season.
West Ham must continue the Santiago Gimenez transfer pursuit
The Hammers should not give up on securing Gimenez despite AC Milan’s advanced negotiations.
With the Irons in dire need of a new striker to bolster their attacking options, they have both the motivation and financial capability to potentially hijack this transfer.
Gimenez, at 23, not only brings immediate quality with his impressive goal-scoring ability but also represents a long-term investment.
His youth promises a developmental arc that could see him become a central figure at West Ham for years to come.
By offering a more lucrative deal, either in terms of transfer fee or personal terms, the London outfit could sway Gimenez’s decision.
Considering their recent struggles and the need for a reliable forward, this move could be pivotal not just for the current campaign but for shaping the team’s future.
