West Ham United has ended up with Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez in the search for a new striker. The Hammers have already made some preparations to become more serious, but are not yet concrete.
The team of head coach David Moyes sold this transfer window Gianluca Scamacca for twenty-five million euros to Serie A club Atalanta, while Michail Antonio is also facing a possible departure. The latter is linked to a switch to Saudi Arabia.
When Antonio also closes the door behind him in London, only striker Danny Ings remains. One striker isn’t enough for West Ham – so they’re exploring the market for a new young option with plenty of potential. Mexican international Gimenez can offer a solution.
West Ham United recently inquired about the services of the Rotterdam crowd favorite. The Londoners did that not only at Feyenoord itself, but also at the striker’s entourage. Knowledge was also collected far beyond that: extensive research is very common among Premier League clubs, before any further concrete rapprochement is sought.
If it becomes a concrete story, Gimenez can be united with compatriot Edson Álvarez at West Ham United. The Mexican midfielder recently came over for thirty-eight million euros from the number three in the Netherlands. That is also the incoming transfer record of the Londoners.
Dennis te Kloese recently gave a clear answer to the ESPN cameras to the question whether Gimenez will also play in the shirt of the team from Rotterdam this season. “Yes”, said Feyenoord’s general manager. “We have a long-term contract with him. I also honestly think, and I’ve known him for a long time, that it’s best for him, from my point of view, to gain experience here and play in the Champions League. in an ideal situation, Gimenez is just a Feyenoord player.” Shortly afterwards, Gimenez extended his contract until mid-2027.
