West Ham are now willing to pay £30M to sign 6ft4 star in big summer move for 26G/A striker this season
West Ham United are among a host of Premier League clubs showing interest in a summer move for Borussia Monchengladbach striker Tim Kleindienst.
The Hammers, alongside Tottenham and Everton, are reportedly monitoring the 29-year-old’s situation amid his impressive year in the Bundesliga.
Kleindienst has been one of the standout strikers in Germany’s top flight this season, scoring 16 goals, providing 10 assists and helping Gladbach push for European spots.
However, if the club fail to qualify for continental competitions, there is a chance the ‘incredible’ forward could depart after the season, with Premier League clubs prepared to pay up to £30m for his signature.
West Ham Eyeing Move for Tim Kleindienst
Graham Potter on the lookout for a striker
According to CaughtOffside, Kleindienst has suitors across Europe, with Serie A giants AC Milan and Roma also tracking the 29-year-old’s progress in Germany.
There is also interest from Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, who may view Kleindienst as a potential back-up to Harry Kane and another striker option for Vincent Kompany.
Gladbach would be in a strong negotiating position if clubs came calling after the season, as Kleindienst is under contract until June 2028.
The 29-year-old only joined the club from Heidenheim in July, where he made 172 appearances and scored 83 goals.
West Ham are expected to bolster Graham Potter’s frontline with a new striker this summer, as Niclas Fullkrug has struggled to convince and Evan Ferguson is set to return to Brighton once his loan finishes.
According to GIVEMESPORT sources, the Hammers have also earmarked Lille ace Jonathan David as an option, with his contract in France set to expire in less than two months.
