West Ham United are allegedly keen to sign talented Lille midfielder Amadou Onana in the summer.

That’s according to a report from The Sun who claims that the Hammers are ready to offer Lille £20 million for the 20-year-old starlet.

West Ham manager David Moyes has a lot of work to do at the London Stadium in the summer transfer window.

The Hammers’ need for a top-class centre-forward, an established centre-back with youth on his side and an elite left-back has been well documented already.

The additions of those three players will be so crucial, so much so that our deficiencies in central midfield seem to have gone somewhat under the radar.

Mark Noble will be hanging up his boots at the end of this season whilst Alex Kral will almost certainly be sent back to Spartak Moscow, having failed to impress at the London Stadium.

And with that in mind, it seems as though David Moyes has a plan in place to bolster his engine room this summer…

West Ham eyeing Amadou Onana swoop

The 20-year-old Lille midfielder is firmly on the Hammers’ radar.

And according to The Sun, the East London outfit are prepared to pay around £20 million to bring him to the Premier League in the summer.

We think that the powerful young midfielder would be a truly sensational addition for West Ham.

Standing at 6ft 6in tall, the Belgium under-21 international is an absolute unit. He has pace, power, energy and dynamism in abundance.

In 21 Ligue 1 appearances for Lille this season, Onana has averaged 1.2 tackles per game. He is a very impressive passer of the football. During his league outings for Lille this term, the 20-year-old has recorded an 83.2% completion rate (Who Scored).

Onana is a really special talent. He has been described by Sport Magazine as a ‘sensational’ young player.

The 20-year-old will undoubtedly keep improving with age. And if Moyes manages to bring him to the London Stadium in the summer for just £20 million, it could end up being an absolute bargain.
