Looking for a player to compensate for the long absence of their star striker Michail Antonio, seriously injured following a car accident, the London club has drawn up a list of several attackers likely to strengthen the Hammers. In addition to Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) and Elye Wahi (OM), West Ham took some information for Gaëtan Laborde (30 years old). The French striker, who is the third scorer in the French championship still active and playing this season in Ligue 1 with 81 goals, is having a more than decent season with Nice (4 goals and 2 assists in 10 L1 matches).
His versatility, his sense of goal and his ability to play his attacking partner make the former Stade Rennais scorer a sure bet in Ligue 1. The current 14th in the Premier League already wanted to recruit Laborde during the winter of 2021 when he played in Montpellier and had even offered €12 million + €3 million in bonuses at the time. The player trained at Girondins de Bordeaux has not particularly planned to leave the Côte d’Azur this winter, he who enjoys the highest salary at OGC Nice (more than €300,000 per month). Finally, on the Gym side, the prospect of saving a large salary could find a positive echo within the Nice management, which is rather inclined to reduce its payroll.
