Report: Irons may be interested in ‘free signing’ striker
Moukandjo’s name has been put out there by ExWHUemployee following his departure from last season’s loan club Beijing Renhe scoring seven times in 19 appearances.
Once his loan contract had expired with Beijing, he returned to Jiangsu, and was made a free agent.
That was his eleventh club – which included two loan spells since 2007 – with his most successful spell probably coming at Nancy between 2011 – 2014 where he managed 19 goals in 89 games.
His career goals to games record according to his Wiki entry is 122 from 305 appearances and whether a guy who has been released from a Chinese club after a two year stint in the country is a realistic option seems debatable..
Moukandjo played for Ligue 1 side Monaco before joining Jiangsu and is currently still available for someone to start negotiations, according to ExWHUemployee.
The Cameroonian is very much a something of a journeyman operator who has none the less managed eight goals from 57 appearances for his country.
“I think we will look to get a forward on loan, if we don’t sell Hernandez, or a free transfer,” ExWHUemployee told the West Ham Way podcast on Phoenix FM
“Welbeck is still available, Sturridge is still available, Balotelli, Llorente, and there is this guy as well whose name was brought to my attention the other day called Benjamin Moukandjo.”
“He’s got a decent goals-to-game record out there and is available on a free.”
“Pellegrini knows him from his time in China and could be someone that is looked at.”
