# West Ham: Insider shares ‘talks’ as GSB eye ‘very clever’ move

**[West Ham United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) insider Claret & Hugh say ‘lots of talks’ have been held as GSB eye a ‘very clever’ signing for David Moyes.**

### The Lowdown: Hammers eye striker move…

After the arrival of Nayef Aguerd in a [£30 million deal](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12637204/nayef-aguerd-west-ham-complete-30m-signing-of-moroccan-defender-from-rennes) from Rennes, the Hammers are reliably tipped to carry that momentum long into the summer amid ‘very busy’ times at the club.

As backed by Sky journalist [Dharmesh Sheth,](https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1539225370322300928) Moyes and the club are seeking at least six new additions as they gear up for what will be a very intriguing 2022/2023 [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) season.

The east Londoners narrowly missed out of Europa League football for next campaign and this may have come as a warning sign for West Ham who wish to keep chase with England’s elite.

### The Latest: Insider shares ‘lots of talks’…

As per insider [C&H](https://www.claretandhugh.info/hammers-admit-regular-talks-on-striker-target/), sharing a message from their source, it is believed that ‘lots of talks’ are being held through agents for one forward.

Indeed, according to their information, Chelsea striker Armando Broja is indeed Moyes’ top target amid these regular discussions with intermediaries and the 20-year-old is open to joining the club.

West Ham apparently wish to pay £30 million for the Albania international but whether that proves to be enough will be found out soon enough.

### The Verdict: Make the move…

Even though Broja [tailed off towards the end](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/armando-broja/leistungsdaten/spieler/571743) of 20/21 on his Southampton loan spell, potentially signing him for £30m could be seen as good business.

He [dazzled in all matches](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/18473919/west-ham-armando-broja-chelsea-transfer-exclusive/) against West Ham last season and [attracted plenty of praise](https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/19923022.southampton-legend-admits-broja-will-difficult-keep-amid-reported-arsenal-interest/) over the course of his St. Mary’s temporary deal.

Pundit Noel Whelan, speaking to[Football Insider,](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-tipped-to-seal-very-clever-broja-signing-after-source-reveal-today-pundit/) claimed an Irons swoop for Broja would be a ‘very clever’ signing for Moyes and we’re inclined to agree given he is still just 20-years-old and already proven in the top flight.
