There is no such thing as a denying that issues have improved at West Ham United since Nuno Espirito Santo took over as supervisor.
Nonetheless, the crew nonetheless has many issues and Saturday afternoon’s 3-0 loss to Manchester Metropolis was a reminder of that truth.
The crew has expertise, but in addition some critical holes and an absence of leading edge.
Thankfully, if stories are to be believed, West Ham need to tackle this problem and have already recognized somebody who could be an actual improve to Callum Wilson.
West Ham intention to improve Wilson
Now, there isn’t any denying that West Ham’s squad as a complete has issues, however the want to usher in a brand new quantity 9 is especially acute.
In any case, whereas Wilson hasn’t been superb, he’s the one distinctive 9 the supervisor can herald, because the fugitive Niklas Furkrug is not ok.
So it comes as no shock to listen to that the membership need to signal a brand new striker.
At the least that is in keeping with a latest report from Brazil, reported by Sport Witness, which claims West Ham are excited by free scorer Caio Jorge.
In reality, the report goes additional and divulges that the East Londoners had made an preliminary provide to mortgage him till the tip of the season for 4 million euros, with an obligation to purchase him for 21 million euros (roughly £22 million in complete).
Sadly, that provide was rejected and it seems the ahead’s membership Cruzeiro haven’t any intention of promoting him except a much bigger provide is made.
It might subsequently be an costly and sophisticated switch to recover from the road, however given Jorge’s potential and potential, West Ham ought to proceed to battle for him, particularly as he could be an improve over Wilson.
Jorge and Wilson comparability
Now, when evaluating two strikers, the very first thing to take a look at, and an important measure of all, is their respective outputs.
Sadly for Wilson, that is the realm through which he’s a distant second finest.
For instance, in 15 appearances this season and a complete of 627 minutes, the Englishman has scored 4 objectives and supplied one help.
That is an affordable common of being concerned in a objective each three video games, or each 125.4 minutes.

This works out to a powerful common of being concerned in a objective each 1.31 video games, or each 99.17 minutes.
After all, there’s the caveat that he posted such numbers in a weak league, nevertheless it’s nonetheless clear that he simply “will not cease scoring objectives,” within the phrases of analyst Filipe Souza.
Along with his grades, what the Cruzeiro star sees as a possible contender is his youth.
The Orinda-born poacher is simply 23 years outdated, 10 years youthful than the previous Newcastle United star.
So, at 33 years outdated, he nonetheless has lots of upside, nevertheless it’s arduous to say.
In any case, it will not be a simple deal to recover from the road, however West Ham ought to do every little thing they will to signal Jorge for 2026, as he could possibly be the proper improve to Wilson.
Sullivan have to be regretting not promoting West Ham’s 4/10 catastrophe
