West Ham United will need to bring in a quality striker in the summer, and Rodrigo Muniz should prove to be a useful acquisition. The Brazilian has done quite well for Fulham, and the opportunity to join West Ham could be an attractive one for him. It will be interesting to see if the Hammers come forward with an official offer to sign the player.
However, as per Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Fulham do not want to let Muniz leave in the summer transfer window, and they are ready to offer him a bumper new contract.
West Ham will face competition from Nottingham Forest as well, while recent reports have linked him with other Premier League clubs. Nottingham Forest are currently pushing for UEFA Champions League qualification, and they could be a more attractive destination if they manage to finish in the top four.
It will be interesting to see where the Brazilian striker ends up amid Fulham’s desire to keep him at Craven Cottage beyond the summer transfer window. Muniz has 13 goal contributions this season, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for both clubs.
West Ham have struggled in the final third this season, and they have not been able to score consistently. Summer signing Niclas Fullkrug has been quite mediocre, and he has struggled with persistent injury problems as well. It is an area of the pitch that is in need of quality additions. It remains to be seen whether the Hammers can get the deal done.
West Ham certainly have the financial muscle to submit a suitable offer for the player, and the transfer might eventually come down to the striker’s wishes. If he decides to commit his long-term future to Fulham, West Ham will have to explore other avenues.
It has been a disappointing season for West Ham, and they will be desperate to bounce back strongly next term. They need to bring in a reliable goalscorer this summer. Players like Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus have done quite well, but West Ham have not been able to finish the chances they have created. It will be interesting to see if they can sign a reliable centre forward in the coming months.
