“Oh my god” – Pundit buzzing after hearing West Ham could sign “great player” in free transfer

Former West Ham United forward Frank McAvennie has expressed his excitement about the possibility of the Hammers signing former Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho on a free transfer.

McAvennie, who played for West Ham from 1987 to 1992, described Iheanacho as a “great player” and believes he would be a valuable addition to the team.West Ham United have already made three summer signings, including Max Kilman from Wolves, Luis Guilherme from Palmeiras, and Wes Foderingham from Sheffield United.

However, technical director Tim Steidten has indicated that the club is still looking to strengthen its squad, particularly in the striker position.Iheanacho, who has scored 42 goals in 196 Premier League games for Leicester City and Manchester City, is currently valued at €12m by Transfermarkt. His impressive goal-scoring record and experience in the Premier League make him an attractive option for West Ham.

McAvennie’s enthusiasm for the potential signing is shared by former Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers, who has praised Iheanacho’s talent, hard work, and resilience. Rodgers has described Iheanacho as a “young player at the top of his game” and believes he has the potential to make a significant impact at West Ham.The signing of Iheanacho would be a shrewd move by West Ham, as it would not require a significant transfer fee. This would allow the club to bolster its attacking options without breaking the bank.

In other transfer news, West Ham have been linked with a move for Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran, with personal terms already agreed with the Colombian striker. The club has also submitted a bid worth more than £12m for Chelsea forward David Datro Fofana.
