David Moyes seems to be searching high and wide for the perfect striker to compete with and provide cover for Michail Antonio.

Onuachu is a name who has been on the Hammers’ radar for quite some time now.

And it now seems as though West Ham can sign the 27-year-old for what could be an absolute bargain fee.

Own Goal Nigeria claims that a fee totalling around £17 million will be enough to prise him away from Genk.
