West Ham United are looking to add some bite to their attack and have reportedly set their sights on AC Milan’s Alexis Saelemaekers, according to Italian media.
The 25-year-old Belgian forward impressed on loan at Bologna last season, helping them secure a Champions League spot. Despite his success, his permanent transfer fell through due to a managerial change at Bologna. Now back at AC Milan, Saelemaekers could be available for the right price.
Saelemaekers who is being valued at £12m emerges as a potentially cheaper option compared to other targets . This price tag aligns better with West Ham’s recent transfer strategy.
The Hammers wouldn’t have a free run at Saelemaekers. Premier League sides Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, and Ipswich Town are also reportedly interested. West Ham will need to act fast if they want to secure his services.
Saelemaekers offers experience and potential value for West Ham. He could be a good fit for the squad, especially considering the reported price tag but would possibly be underwhelming given the links to more illustrious forwards over recent weeks.
If this is true Lopetegui will walk and we will have to Re employ Dino !!!! We really need to sign our top targets Duran wan bissaka and todibo to make progress
why no mention of En-nesyri top striker but we dont mention him any more
My sentiments entirely. At the start of this window, both parties said they were willing to come together, now it seems they wish to stay poles apart
Cheaper option = not as good.
If only Ipswich Forest and Leicester are in for him then we should steer clear and pay for a decent number 9

I just wish we could do our business under the radar, so we can get some real value deals done. Steiden needs to start pulling up some gems, no one else is looking at and keep it on the down low.
I get they are planning to bring in 8 players but if we keep selling surely we need more than 8.
Ideally though I hope a few academy players get a proper chance, Earthy showed the quality I’m sure there are others not far behind him level wise, plus if they see a chance to step up less will move on to pastures new in the future.
