OPINION
West Ham have looked short in attack this season and in the summer should consider a move for dazzling Premier League attacker Kenedy.
The Hammers must of course pull clear of the relegation trouble they are in, but after that need to draw up plans for how they are going to get the club competing for European places once again.
David Moyes’ side need some extra firepower at the London Stadium next season and there is good value for money in the market if you look in the right place.
Kenedy is currently on loan at Newcastle United from Chelsea, but the Magpies are reportedly keen to make his move permanent in the summer.
The Daily Mirror reports that Newcastle want to sign the 22-year-old ahead of next season and that he will cost up to £15million.
He has made a great impact on loan at St James’ Park and scored twice at the weekend in a 3-0 win over Southampton.
However, West Ham should certainly hijack their interest and attempt their own move in the summer to land the Chelsea sensation.
Kenedy is a left-winger that is renowned for his pace and trickery, while he is also strong from set-pieces and has a good work-rate.
The wide man looks an absolute steal at £15million given prices nowadays and would really add some extra quality at the London Stadium.
West Ham should cough up for the Brazilian attacker that still have a lot of developing to do at his age and has shown he can turn in eye-catching displays in the Premier League.
The Hammers have struggled with recruitment in the past 12 months and that is part of the reason behind recent protests, but signing Kenedy could be unearthing a real jewel.
