West Ham exploring move to sign Fiorentina’s Moise Kean | OneFootball

West Ham United are exploring a move for Moise Kean, according to Quotidiano Sportivo.

He is reportedly on the club’s radar, having bagged 19 goals to spearhead Fiorentina to the Europa Conference League last season.

West Ham need a new striker, with Niclas Fullkrug poised to leave following an underwhelming spell in London.

Callum Wilson is heading into the twilight of his career, and West Ham need someone to take the mantle.

Following a disappointing spell in England, Kean returned to his native Italy but struggled to get going for three seasons before a remarkable 2024/25 campaign.

West Ham must avoid signing Kean at all costs

While Kean looks a tempting target for West Ham, the club would be making a grave mistake by signing him.

Firstly, his goals have dried up. He has netted only twice in the league this season, a major reason Fiorentina are struggling Serie A. He has missed 11 big chances in 14 appearances.

It is also worth noting that his time in the Premier League with Everton was a letdown. He scored four goals in 39 appearances, not enough to prove he deserves to be in the top flight.

Granted, he was younger then, but the red flags are still worth pointing out.

The Hammers need a prolific forward to lead the line, and Kean is not clinical enough for the job at hand.

West Ham would be better served targeting exciting young strikers such as Kaio Jorge, Jhon Duran, Yuri Alberto or Franculino Dju.

Kean would be a massive waste of funds if the Hammers decide to pursue him. Fiorentina consider him ‘unsellable’, and it should remain so.
