London West Ham celebrates this year’s winter transfer window not only with the start of Graham Potter’s work at the head of the club, but also with an active search for reinforcements in the market.

At the same time, one of the problematic links of the “hammer fighters” is the attack, and they decided to close this issue at the expense of the acquisition of the Nottingham Forest forward Taiwo Avonia.

The 27-year-old performer joined the Foresters in the summer of 2022 from the German Union Berlin for 20.5 million euros, but this season he noticeably lacks game practice – only 383 minutes in 18 matches and one scored goal.

The Nigerian’s contract runs until 2027, so West Ham will have to agree on a fee of at least 25 million euros, as well as fight against Nottingham’s desire to keep the player due to a lack of rotation.
