West Ham United are making early moves in the summer transfer window, and Raphael Onyedika is firmly on their radar.
According to the Daily Express, the Hammers are in positive talks with Club Brugge over a deal for the dynamic Nigerian midfielder. Onyedika, 24, made headlines last season with standout performances — including a goal against Manchester City in the Champions League — and could soon be showcasing his talents at the London Stadium.
This potential move aligns with West Ham’s strategy to blend experience with youth under new boss Graham Potter. The club has already wrapped up a deal for 19-year-old Celtic striker Daniel Cummings, and Onyedika might be next through the door.
Interestingly, West Ham’s interest in Belgium doesn’t stop there. Brugge teammate Ardon Jashari, Switzerland’s midfield engine and the reigning Jupiler Pro League Player of the Year, is also on their wishlist. But competition is fierce, with Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City also circling.
Following a disappointing 14th-place finish last season, Potter is expected to reshape the squad with players who suit his tactical vision. Onyedika’s ball-winning ability and Jashari’s defensive steel could offer the midfield balance the Hammers sorely need — and without breaking the bank. The pair are valued at a combined £37 million.
