West Ham Make Early Move for Samuel Chukwueze Ahead of Summer Window
West Ham United have taken their first concrete step towards a potential summer swoop for Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze, as the Premier League side begin early preparations to reinforce their attack for next season, Nigeriasoccernet.com can report.
The Hammers are believed to have made initial contact to explore the 26-year-old’s situation ahead of the transfer window. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, enquiries have been lodged regarding a possible deal at the end of the current campaign.
Chukwueze remains contracted to AC Milan but is presently on loan at Fulham, where he has steadily carved out a role under manager Marco Silva. Although not an automatic starter, the Nigerian international has delivered encouraging performances, contributing three goals and four assists in 12 Premier League appearances, despite missing matches due to AFCON commitments.
His improved form in England has reportedly attracted further interest. Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are also said to be monitoring his situation closely, while Fulham holds an option to make the transfer permanent for a fee understood to be slightly above £21 million.
Milan, for their part, is reportedly open to selling the winger this summer if their valuation is met, setting the stage for what could become a competitive battle among Premier League clubs for his signature.
