West Ham target 18-year-old striker Kroupi

West Ham have recently lost two of their forwards—Niclas Füllkrug has suffered another injury, while Michail Antonio is recovering from a car accident. Throughout the winter transfer window, the Hammers have been searching for a new striker, and it appears they may have found one.

Details: According to Sky Sports, West Ham are in talks with French club Lorient over the potential signing of forward Eli Junior Kroupi. The 18-year-old is valued at €40 million by the Ligue 2 side. However, the stance of both the player and Lorient on the transfer remains unclear.

Reminder: This season, Kroupi has scored eight goals and provided two assists in 16 matches for Lorient in Ligue 2. However, he is not the only option for West Ham, as the club is also considering Brighton’s Evan Ferguson.
