West Ham missed an amazing attacker
It is safe to say that the luck of West Ham on the striker market has been quite awful in the last few years.
From similar Gianluca Scamacca and Albian verses to a full -time verse, it seems that nothing has clicked on the central attacking place in the team. However, that could be two years ago.
Indeed, in the summer window to transfer 2023 Moyes and West Ham were Allegedly very interested in the Coventry striker, Viktor Gyokereswith a manager who personally scouts him on several occasions in EFL.
However, when the Summer Window 2023 was valid, Gyokeres made shock of £ 20m to Portuguese giants, Sporting.

When comparing Gyokeres basic metrics with Bowen and Kudus, you can clearly see an additional level of clinical finish to give.
It has a larger ratio of goals/cracking than both combined, scoring 1.20 goals at 90 and generating a higher xg 90 from the Hammers wings.
Gyokeres is described as hitting the ball “monster“Ben Mattinson, which was further proven by its record of goal scoring in Portugal.
This is just one of the many 26-year-old elite qualities, including its ability to start channels and manipulate the ball inside the box.
The front line that consisted of Gyokeres, Bowen and Kudus could have been one of the toughest threatening in the Premier League, especially under Moyes in transitional moments, playing in a deeper block and wanting to hit the teams on the break.
