West Ham already have the signings of left winger Crisencio Summerville and centre-forward Niklas Hurkrug in attack, along with star forwards in captain Jarrod Bowen, Mohamed Kudus and Lucas Paqueta.
However, the club are also hoping to sign a new forward this summer, with West Ham recently linking up Roma striker Tammy Abraham to pair with centre-forward Niklas Flukluk.
Takvim recently reported that West Ham are targeting Besiktas forward Ernesto Muci, who has been catching attention following some impressive performances for Besiktas in the Turkish league. The 23-year-old is a versatile and creative playmaker who can play as a winger, centre-forward or striker.
Muci made 51 appearances for the Turkish club last season, scoring 13 goals and providing two assists. In the current transfer window, Besiktas have signed Lazio forward Ciro Immobile and Benfica playmaker Rafa Silva, and the club also has No. 9 Vincent Aboubakar, so Muci could be tempted to move to the Premier League in search of more playing time.
His talent has attracted interest from top clubs such as Arsenal, West Ham and Newcastle United. Reports suggest that Besiktas are willing to pay £12 million for Mucci. West Ham need a quality young forward to bolster their attack and Mucci is a credible option.
