With Julen Lopetegui leading West Ham, it’s likely the club will prioritize signing a striker to kick off their new era. The current options are lacking, with the aging Michail Antonio still effective but Danny Ings rumored to leave and Divin Mubama being inexperienced. Addressing this need is crucial.
Fortunately, Tim Steidten, West Ham’s Technical Director, now has significant influence in the club’s recruitment strategy. Despite initial disagreements with David Moyes, Steidten has overseen some impressive signings, including Mohammed Kudus and Edson Alvarez.
Recent reports suggest that Kudus, acquired for £38m, is now valued higher than Victor Osimhen, indicating the success of Steidten’s strategy. Kudus is worth around £76m, surpassing Osimhen’s £73m valuation.
Kudus, signed until 2028, has become a key player for West Ham, reflecting Steidten’s effective work. As the club supports Lopetegui, balancing the squad with essential signings remains critical for future success.
