West Ham United are set for a busy summer as the club’s hierarchy and their new manager prepare to bolster their ranks.

With David Moyes departing the Hammers and Julen Lopetegui set to come in, a new era is about to begin at the London Stadium.

One squad area West Ham could do with strengthen is in attack, as they’re currently short on numbers.

The Hammers may well look to bring in a long-term replacement for Michail Antonio, who turned 34 in March.

In recent days, West Ham have been linked with a player who has been deemed ‘one of the most difficult strikers to defend’ against in his league.

The player in question is Braga’s Simon Banza, who has registered an impressive 23 goals and five assists in all competitions this term.

Calciomercato recently claimed that the Hammers were in pursuit of the 6ft 2in powerhouse.

Now, a report from Portugal has outlined how much the likes of West Ham could have to pay for Banza.

O Jogo (print edition, 15/5/2024) have claimed that the Democratic Republic of Congo international has a £34million price tag.

Simon Banza began his football journey at hometown club Creil before linking up with Chantilly’s youth team.

He then joined the Lens setup and rose through the ranks, taking in a number of loan spells along the way before breaking into the first team.
