West Ham interested in signing young Besiktas forward

Now, recent reports from Takvim have revealed that West Ham have set their sights on Besiktas forward Ernest Muci. Ernest Muci has been turning heads with his exceptional performances for Besiktas in the Turkish league. The 23-year-old is a versatile creative playmaker who can play as a winger, centre forward and a striker as well.

Last season, Muci scored thirteen goals and provided two assists in 51 appearances for the Turkish club. In this transfer window, Besiktas have signed prolific Lazio forward Ciro Immobile and Benfica playmaker Rafa Silva. Also, the club has Vincent Aboubakar as the number nine. Thus, Muci will be open to move to the Premier League for more playing time.

His talent has attracted interest from top clubs, including Arsenal, West Ham, and Newcastle United. According to the report, Besiktas want a transfer fee of £12 million for Muci. West Ham need a quality young forward to improve their attack and Muci is a reliable option.

West Ham's interest in Muci represents a strategic investment in young talent, reinforcing the club's commitment to building a strong foundation for long term success. Now it remains to be seen whether West Ham decide to sign Muci in this transfer window. Meanwhile, West Ham are preparing to face Aston Villa in the first match of the new Premier League season.
