BREAKING NEW: The director acknowledges that the future of the target player pursued by West Ham is uncertain, stating that it is “completely undecided”. Additionally, there’s a €20 million release clause which could facilitate a straightforward signing for the Hammers.

In an ongoing issue for West Ham United, the team has been relying heavily on players other than strikers to score the majority of their goals. Jarrod Bowen, typically a winger, has emerged as the club’s top scorer this season, often playing in a central role. This persistent challenge for West Ham suggests that they still seek the right striker, with Serhou Guirassy potentially fitting the bill. Guirassy, currently with VfB Stuttgart, is likely to depart in the summer, with a reported €20 million release clause. His impressive performance in the Bundesliga, scoring 20 league goals in just 18 appearances, could make him an attractive and cost-effective option for any team in need of consistent scoring. While West Ham has shown interest in Guirassy, his future remains uncertain, as confirmed by Stuttgart’s director of football, Fabian Wohlgemuth, who expressed hope to retain him but acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding his situation. Whether West Ham decides to pursue Guirassy remains to be seen, but they may hope for smoother dealings than past experiences, such as with Gianluca Scamacca.
