# West Ham: Moyes also eyeing Brereton Diaz move

**[West Ham United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) and manager David Moyes are also eyeing a move for Blackburn Rovers star Ben Brereton Diaz amid their busy window.**

### The Lowdown: Hammers keep busy…

The Hammers are keeping well and truly busy ahead of their blockbuster [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) opening weekend clash against Manchester City on Sunday as they remain linked with a host of players.

Lille midfielder Amadou Onana and Burnley star Maxwel Cornet are [reportedly on the agenda](https://www.90min.com/posts/west-ham-working-on-amadou-onana-and-maxwel-cornet-deals) for Moyes and head of recruitment Rob Newman with Napoli star Piotr Zielinski also [mentioned in parts.](https://www.teamtalk.com/west-ham-united/piotr-zielinski-expected-offer-again-players-demands-revealed)

It appears the east Londoners have cast their net far and wide with reliable journalist Jacob Steinberg now sharing news on another possible target.

### The Latest: Steinberg makes Brereton-Diaz claim…

Indeed, the reporter claims Brereton Diaz is also being watched by West Ham.

Writing for [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/aug/03/west-ham-have-bid-accepted-lille-amadou-onana?CMP=share_btn_tw), he states that Moyes and co are ‘monitoring’ the Rovers forward with there being no sign of the Irons resting on their laurels.

### The Verdict: Exciting?

Having scored [22 goals whilst assisting three others](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ben-brereton-diaz/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/426192) last season, regardless of those numbers coming in the Championship, it’s clear the Chile international could provide another injection of threat into Moyes’ side.

Brereton Diaz, reportedly valued at around [£20 million,](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/blackburns-20m-ben-brereton-diaz-24128146) could be a real one to watch with pundits in the press even tipping him to be an [‘exciting signing’](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-told-to-complete-exciting-diaz-signing-after-sources-update-kenny/) for West Ham specifically.

Able to play [both out wide and centrally](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ben-brereton-diaz/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/426192), the forward would come with real versatility for Moyes and we feel West Ham would be wise to take their interest further.
