Portugal international striker André Silva has been linked with a move away from RB Leipzig this month.
The German outfit are open to letting the player leave and are willing to send him on loan or on a permanent transfer.
according to Philip HinzeWest Ham United are in the race to secure his signature. They will face competition from other Bundesliga clubs. It will be interesting to see if they can do the deal.
The 29-year-old could prove to be a useful acquisition for them. West Ham have looked toothless in attack at times and They need a quality striker. Although Silva has not been at his best this season and has struggled for regular game time at the German club, he is a proven performer and could transform West Ham in attack if he can regain his form and confidence.
Silva could help the Hammers improve
The 29-year-old is still very much at the peak of his powers, and will be eager to make his mark in the Premier League. West Ham have an ambitious project and could provide him with the platform to showcase his qualities in English football.
Whether they can secure a deal with the German club for the player remains to be seen.
Ideally, they should look to sign him to a loan with an option to buy. It would be a no-risk sign and would also help them improve the squad. If Silva can impress in the second half of the season, West Ham could sign him permanently at the end of the season.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Silva has shown his quality in Germany, Italy and Spain over the years. He has the technical ability to do well in English football.
