West Ham To Sign Arsenal-Linked Gimenez 

West Ham could test Feyenoord’s resolve as the Premier League side have their eye on Mexico striker Santiago Gimenez, according to a report.

Since moving to Feyenoord from Cruz Azul in 2022, the hitman has been playing fantastically. He has scored a remarkable 18 goals in 16 appearances in the Eredivisie this season and 43 in 67 in total for the Dutch club. Gimenez has drawn interest from a number of teams, and according to The Times, West Ham may try to sign him.

Feyenoord are eager to keep the striker who helped fire them to the Eredivisie title last season until the summer at least. However, West Ham could come in for him in the January window as David Moyes seeks to address some short-term absences after seeing Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta sustain injuries, while Mohammed Kudus is off to the Africa Cup of Nations with Ghana.

The 22-year-old, who has also been linked to a move to Arsenal, has a contract with the Rotterdam team until the summer of 2027, but manager Arne Slot has acknowledged that they might sell him if the appropriate offer comes up.

He told Voetbal International: “Suppose a club comes along for Santiago Gimenez that offers €60 million (£52m/$66m) and the club agrees, then I wouldn’t lie down. I can’t even do that. If it is good for Feyenoord and the player wants it, why would I object?’”

West Ham may try to entice another Eredivisie sensation to east London before the January transfer window closes, having watched Kudus and Edson Alvarez shine in the Premier League after coming from Ajax.
