West Ham United appears to be shifting their focus towards alternative striker targets, with Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin emerging as a potential option. According to Sky Sports, the Hammers’ interest in Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran has “cooled,” and they are now exploring other possibilities.
Calvert-Lewin, who has a year left on his contract at Goodison Park, is reportedly one of the strikers West Ham has looked at. The 27-year-old has been linked to several clubs, including Manchester United and Brentford, and is expected to leave Everton this summer.
Everton’s uncertainty over their ownership situation is believed to be a factor in Calvert-Lewin’s reluctance to extend his stay at the club. With the Toffees potentially facing a sale, West Ham may be tempted to make a bid for the striker.
However, it remains to be seen what kind of financial deal West Ham would be willing to offer, especially considering the club’s current transfer situation. The Hammers are in need of a striker, and Calvert-Lewin could be an attractive option.
In other Everton news, a significant transfer update has been shared regarding another star leaving the club. David Ornstein reports that a “hugely substantial” update is expected soon.
