West Ham United have been presented with a dream opportunity to sign a striker who ticks all the boxes, according to a report from AS
The East London club is actively searching for a solution to their striker problems, and 28-year-old Norwegian forward Alexander Sorloth has emerged as a potential target.
Sorloth enjoyed a blistering season with Villarreal last year, finding the net 26 times and contributing six assists in just 41 appearances.
Previously valued at around £32 million, reports now suggest Villarreal might be willing to sell Sorloth for a steal at just £25 million. This price tag could be very attractive to West Ham.
Standing at 6ft 5in, Sorloth boasts all the desired qualities: aerial dominance, pace to exploit channels, and a clinical finishing touch.
On paper, Sorloth appears to be the perfect striker for West Ham’s new manager Julen Lopetegui and his tactical philosophy.
However, this chance to acquire a proven goal scorer at a potentially discounted price shouldn’t be missed by West Ham. If they act quickly, they could land the ideal striker to spearhead their attack under Lopetegui.
