West Ham are said to be interested in a move for a 24-year-old striker who is on the up and up. The Hammers need another striker this summer having been left short up top this season due to injury issues for Niclas Fullkrug and Michail Antonio.
Antonio may not be back any time soon, while Danny Ings is likely to be allowed to leave the club this summer. West Ham know they need to improve their squad in a number of areas, and striker is clearly one of them, with Graham Potter unlikely to sign Evan Ferguson permanently.
According to CaughtOffside, the Irons are ‘very keen’ on signing Lyon striker Georges Mikautadze, who has scored eight times in 27 league appearances since arriving at Lyon last summer.
Lyon boss Paulo Fonseca said of the forward’s form recently: “Georges is in great form at the moment. He played well for the national team and came back motivated. We’ve worked to get him in the best possible condition, and we need to continue this good momentum for him. We have attackers with different profiles to adapt to the matches. Alexandre Lacazette played well last match, Georges has other qualities. He’s an asset for me.
