The outlet indicates the Hammers want to strengthen their attacking options during the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Moise Kean saga:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The 25-year-old Vercelli native has become a key target for the struggling Premier League club. They urgently need a reliable presence up front to improve their league position. Fiorentina currently sit at the bottom of the Serie A table.<\/p>\n<p>They plan to offload several players to raise funds for new signings. The club hopes to climb out of the relegation zone. So, they view Kean as a useful option because he still holds solid market value despite the team\u2019s struggles.<\/p>\n<p>Kean\u2019s time in Florence since arriving from Juventus in July 2024 has shown mixed form. He experienced difficulties previously at both Everton and Paris Saint-Germain. However, the move to Italy initially lifted the Italian\u2019s confidence.<\/p>\n<p>He scored regularly throughout the 2024\/25 season. Nevertheless, this 2025\/26 campaign tells a different story. The Italian international now faces ongoing challenges. He has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.co.in\/moise-kean\/leistungsdaten\/spieler\/364135\">three goals and three assists<\/a> across 18 appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>> <ins data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1320500389249449\" data-ad-slot=\"3943052428\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>  <\/p>\n<p>Kean\u2019s drop in numbers matches La Viola\u2019s poor results. They have not won a single league game this term. Even so, Kean still has a strong reputation and plenty of upside. Several clubs are looking at him seriously. West Ham United are at the front of the chase for his signature. This points to a possible Premier League return soon.<\/p>\n<p>The East London club has watched Kean for a long time. Their situation shows how hard it has been to find a consistent goalscorer. They still feel that problem even after trying players like Niclas Fullkrug and Evan Ferguson.<\/p>\n<p>Both failed to give the finishing quality the team needed. Veteran Callum Wilson certainly offers quality in attack. However, his frequent fitness problems stop him from becoming a fully dependable option. These issues push West Ham to search the market for a capable striker.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_339215\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-339215\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/acf-fiorentina-v-hellas-verona-f-2.jpg\" alt=\"West Ham news\" width=\"900\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/acf-fiorentina-v-hellas-verona-f-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/acf-fiorentina-v-hellas-verona-f-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/acf-fiorentina-v-hellas-verona-f-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/acf-fiorentina-v-hellas-verona-f-2-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/acf-fiorentina-v-hellas-verona-f-2-629x420.jpg 629w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/acf-fiorentina-v-hellas-verona-f-2-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/acf-fiorentina-v-hellas-verona-f-2-696x465.jpg 696w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-339215\">FLORENCE, ITALY \u2013 DECEMBER 14: Moise Kean of ACF Fiorentina reacts during the Serie A match between ACF Fiorentina and Hellas Verona FC at Artemio Franchi on December 14, 2025 in Florence, Italy.

Fiorentina need money quickly for January additions to help their survival fight. They are ready to listen to offers for the young Italian international. This creates an interesting few weeks ahead as the club decides on Kean\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Should West Ham look for him?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Considering the player\u2019s recent inconsistency and his earlier struggles in the Premier League with <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/everton\/\">Everton<\/a>, signing Kean looks risky for the Hammers. His strong 2024\/25 season showed he can score goals and lead an attack.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Fiorentina striker\u2019s drop in form during the 2025\/26 campaign shows he depends heavily on confidence and rhythm. The Hammers cannot fully offer that at the moment. The club needs a striker who guarantees goals straight away. Kean\u2019s patchy output suggests he may not deliver that immediately. This makes him a tougher choice than some of the other options on the market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Ham United are seriously looking at Fiorentina striker Moise Kean, as per reports from the Italian outlet Quotidiano Sportivo.
