West Ham United are interested in signing 25-year-old Brazilian striker Pedro ahead of the next season.
According to a report by Fichajes, West Ham United want to acquire the services of Flamengo striker Pedro in the summer. The London-based club have been keeping an eye on the 25-year-old for a while and are ready to push for his signature.
David Moyes is a big admirer of the player and wants to bring him back to Europe ahead of next season. The West Ham boss is keen on signing a striker. He has identified the former Serie A forward as an important transfer target.
Pedro came through the ranks at the Brazilian club Fluminense before joining Fiorentina back in 2019. After just six months with the Serie A club, he was sent back to Brazil on loan. He failed to impress in the Italian top flight and returned to South America. He joined Flamengo on a permanent basis in the winter transfer window of 2021.
Ever since his return to Brazil, the 25-year-old has found his mojo back. He has been sensational on the pitch and looks all set for a second stint in Europe. In the ongoing season, Pedro has featured in 7 matches and has found the back of the net on nine occasions.
The Brazil international is in red-hot form of late. And, Moyes wants to bring him to London in the summer at any cost. The former Fiorentina forward will add more firepower to West Ham’s attack. And, he might help them out of the ongoing crisis. The Flamengo striker will cost the east London club over €40 million.
West Ham are currently 16th in the Premier League and are hoping to avoid relegation. They have been very poor in front of goal having found the back of the net only 19 times in 22 matches. The London-based club desperately need reinforcements in attack ahead of the next season.
If they manage to survive in the English top flight, they will enter the summer transfer window with a long list of players to improve their squad. Moyes will be keen on adding goals to his squad and the arrival of Pedro will surely help their cause. But, it will be interesting to if they can manage to pull it off.
