Transfer Rumor 

West Ham United want to take on RB Salzburg striker Junior Adamu

West Ham United could turn to RB Salzburg’s Junior Adamu in their pursuit of a new striker however, they will face stiff competition in the race to secure his services.

21, the Austrian forward is drawing interest from six clubs in Germany in addition to England in the summer.

The Salzburg club’s in-laws RB Leipzig have been linked to the awe-inspiring sensation along with Eintracht Frankfurt, Hertha Berlin, Southampton and Leeds United.

The report says the striker is available for just EUR10 million, which is around PS8.5 million. This will be a far less expensive option for David Moyes than other strikers The Irons have been linked to.

West Ham have also been connected to the Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins as well as Chelsea player Armando Broja in the last few weeks However, both of them would cost substantially over Adamu.

The major reason for West Ham to Adamu is that he could provide a an adequate replacement for Michail Antonio.

Despite scoring 18 goals contributions in the last season Antonio had 14 consecutive games with no goals.

He’s currently the only naturally-born striker within the Hammers team The team also has Jarrod Bowen assisting occasionally for the team.

Adamu made his mark in the second period of the season 2020/21 in a loan period at Swiss club St Gallen.

Although he’s still only an adolescent, he scored six goals in only fourteen games of the Swiss Super League as he was able to steer the club away from being relegated.

He got his break from his time in the Salzburg first team in the 2021/22 season, and was able to adapt to the higher levels of competition flawlessly.

Even though he played 90 minutes only four times during the entire season long, Adamu scored seven goals and had three assists in his 30 games, proving to be just as efficient on the field in the same way as Antonio in Austria however, he will require time to grow.

Adamu scored 0.39 goals in 90 minutes, which is slightly more that Antonio’s 0.3.

He also takes higher shots than Antonio and also gets similar amounts of shots hitting the target, which is about 33%..

Antonio is the most aggressive of the two, having completed greater number of tackles minutes than Antonio, who is the Austrian youngster. Antonio is also able to make 14 pressures per 90 with a nearly even split across the midfield and the attacking third.

This is essential to the manner in which The Irons play and Adamu is likely to need time to study from Antonio and incorporate this into his own game before he replaces him.
