Galatasaray are keen on signing West Ham United striker Michail Antonio during the January transfer window. His agent is offering him to clubs.
According to Turkish outlet Takvim, the reigning Super Lig champions are looking for a new forward and have identified the 34-year-old Jamaican as a potential target.
Galatasaray Technical Director Okan Buruk has Antonio on his shortlist of targets, but it remains unclear if they will swoop for his signature.
However, West Ham should consider selling Antonio and investing in a younger, more dynamic forward. The 34-year-old has struggled for form this season, registering just one goal and an assist in nine league appearances. He has missed four big chances. His lack of pace and declining physicality have made him a liability for the Hammers.
The Hammers have already made a mistake by signing Niclas Fullkrug, who is also injury-prone and nearing the end of his career.
Instead, they should target younger forwards in the market. Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez could be available in the January transfer window if manager Arne Slot continues to snub him.
The Uruguayan has all the tools in his repertoire to be one of the top strikers of his generation. He can fulfil that promise at the London Stadium.
Also, West Ham can shock the world with an early move for Lille hotshot Jonathan David, whose contract expires in 2025. The Hammers can sign him for a decent fee in January or, at the very least, place themselves in front of the queue of suitors to take him for free.
Another option would be to return for former target Simon Banza. He took Portugal by storm last season with 23 goals and five assists in 41 appearances.
This term, he has six goals in ten outings for Trabzonspor. The 28-year-old is one of the most underrated strikers in Europe, and West Ham must consider pouncing in January.
