West Ham the latest club linked with move for Chelsea's Nigerian attacker
Published: July 16, 2021West Ham United are the latest club credited with an interest in signing Chelsea's Nigerian striker Ike Ugbo.
According to Het Belang van Limburg via Hammers News, West Ham are showing interest in signing the former England youth international.
Despite an excellent season at Cercle Brugge, for whom he scored sixteen goals in the Belgian First Division A, Ugbo is not in the plans of Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.
The European champions are open to offers for the Nigerian youngster as they could lose him for nothing in June 2022 when his contract expires.
West Ham United face competition from abroad for the signature of Ugbo, with Racing Genk and PSV Eindhoven also interested in signing him.
Manager David Moyes is in the market for a striker to provide competition for Michail Antonio and it is believed that Paul Onuachu is on the radar of the Scottish football tactician.
Ugbo, who is hoping to be called up to the Super Eagles later this year, has been on the books of Chelsea since U10 level.
