As reported by The Daily Mail, West Ham United are interested in signing FC Krasnodar striker Fyodor Smolov this January.
What’s the story?
Dropping more points at home on London Stadium, it’s clear that David Moyes has quite the job on his hands if he’s to turn around the Hammers’ poor form and have them climb the English Premier League table.
Crucial to those efforts will be making the right moves in the January transfer window and it seems Moyes is already setting his sights on a firm target.
The Daily Mail report that West Ham are weighing up a £15m move for Fyodor Smolov, an in-form striker for club and country that may just have what it takes to fire the Irons forward.
The paper say that with just 18 months left on his contract in Russia, the 27-year-old is keen on a move to London.
Who is he?
Smolov may not be a household name in England, but he’s making quite an impression on the Russian scene for both Krasnodar and the national team, already netting 11 goals in 13 appearances for both so far this season.
Overall he’s scored a lethal 57 goals in 88 appearances for his current side, also providing 16 assists. That’s the kind of attacking contribution that could transform David Moyes’ starting eleven and soon see the Irons picking up results.
It’s an exciting potential transfer for supporters, perhaps even the perfect partner to the likes of Javier Hernandez.
