West Ham United is currently seriously considering the epic moves of the “unstopped” striker who flew the 2025-26 campaign.
West Ham must sign a new striker before the deadline
Following the departure of Mishure Antonio this summer, West Ham has brought in Callum Wilson, but he is unlikely to be a long-term solution, especially given the recent injury record of former Newcastle United.
season | A game missed by injury |
2022-23 | 9 |
2023-24 | 28 |
2024-25 | 29 |
Jarrod Bowen led the Hammer line early in the new season, but the 28-year-old hasn’t yet got on the scoresheet and clashed with fans after his latest 3-2 loss to the Wolverhampton Wanderers in the EFL Cup.
Niclas Fullkrug is also set to be 33 this season, so Hammer is undoubtedly able to sign a young centre forward, allowing him to lead the line at London Stadium for the next few years, and now he has turned his eyesight to strikers checking those boxes.
According to a TeamTalk report, West Ham is currently seriously considering the epic move of FC Midtjylland striker Franculino Dju.
Iron and Serie Sidecomo have expressed their intention to provide £11 million regional fees for the 21-year-old service, but it can be difficult for both parties to sign a contract.
Young people are considered top-class potential players on Graham Potter’s side, but FC Midtjylland is extremely reluctant to sell. It is nearly impossible to swap Star players, and the summer transfer window is set to close immediately.
“Unstoppable” DJU has launched its campaign incredible
Scout Jacek Kulig has been obsessed with the way the young centre forward launched his campaign and has recently praised him as “unstopping” and it’s obvious to see why.
Guinea Bissau International already has nine goals for his name at all competitions. He has staves the league’s target tally from the 2024-25 campaign at this early stage, showing signs of real development.
Given that the Mid-Jilland star has yet to prove himself in the major Europa League, it would be a risk for West Ham to sign the DJU, but Hammer desperately needs a new centre forward, and Wilson has little effect on the three outings up to this point.
Also, considering Potter is famous for working with the oldest team in the Premier League last season, I recommend the former Benfica guy at 21 years old and still very young.
