# West Ham: Irons hold Simeone transfer talks

**[West Ham United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) are making moves behind-the-scenes after completing the capture of Nayed Aguerd from Rennes with news emerging on striker Giovanni Simeone.**

### The Lowdown: Moyes set for busy summer?

According to reports, Irons boss David Moyes is seriously gearing up for what could be a ‘very busy’ window as seeks to make ‘at least’ six new signings for the club ([Dharmesh Sheth](https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1539225370322300928)).

A striker is said to be firmly on the agenda amid [serious links](https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1539225370322300928) to Chelsea forward Armando Broja, who could cost in the region of around [£25 million](https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1539225370322300928) to bring across London.

While the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) forward is thought to be a target, the Irons have other options, with[90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/west-ham-contact-sassuolo-giacomo-raspadori-gianluca-scamacca) sharing news on Simeone.

### The Latest: West Ham talks held for Simeone…

[As per their information](https://www.90min.com/posts/west-ham-contact-sassuolo-giacomo-raspadori-gianluca-scamacca), a major update has come to light involving the Hammers and Hellas Verona’s frontman.

90min claim that West Ham ‘talks have been held’ with Simeone’s agents over a possible move to the London Stadium.

It is added that Moyes and co are paying ‘close attention’ to the Argentine after his fine Serie A season over 2021/2022.

### The Verdict: Get it done?

A possible alterative to Broja, we believe the 26-year-old could be a serious asset under manager Moyes.

Bagging a career total [87 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/giovanni-simeone/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/282388), Simeone scored [17 of them](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/giovanni-simeone/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/282388) on loan in Verona over 2021/2022 – drawing acclaim from members of the media.

Indeed, Radio/TV pundit and freelance football writer Adeyemi Adesanya branded the South American [‘extraordinary’](https://twitter.com/yemiTM442/status/1454788417930280962) last season for his brilliant run of form and now may be the time for him to think about joining West Ham in England.
