West Ham United are reportedly keen on improving their attacking unit by siging Adam Hlozek from Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen.
According to a report by Sunday Mirror via TBR Football, West Ham United are hoping to sign Adam Hlozek, and it will be interesting to see if the Hammers can get the deal done. It is no secret that they need to sign a quality striker this summer, and the Bayer Leverkusen attacker should prove to be a quality long-term acquisition.
The 21-year-old has struggled for regular game time at the Bundesliga club because of the wealth of options at Xabi Alonso’s disposal. He needs to move on in search of regular playing time, and a move to West Ham would be ideal for him.
The Hammers would be able to provide him with regular first-team action. Ample exposure in the Premier League could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his tremendous potential. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can agree on a deal soon.
The Czech Republic international started just five league games last season, and he is behind the likes of Patrik Schick and Victor Boniface in the pecking order. Moving to the Premier League would be ideal for him.
West Ham need a quality striker
West Ham United need to bring in upgrades on players like Michail Antonio and Danny Ings. Both players have been quite underwhelming, and the Hammers need a quality striker if they want to do well. Recent reports have linked them with strikers like Jonathan David.
The East Londoners will be hoping to push for European qualification next season, and they will look to do well in the domestic competitions as well. The 21-year-old Czech striker could prove to be a quality addition for them in the long term. The opportunity to join an English club will be quite attractive for the player as well, and working under a quality manager like Julen Lopetegui will help him improve further.
West Ham certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done, and it will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal in the coming weeks. The Bundesliga outfit could be tempted to sell him for a lucrative price because of his situation at the club. They could use the proceeds from his departure to improve their starting lineup even further.
