West Ham United and Sunderland have been offered the opportunity to sign Roma striker Artem Dovbyk.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the 28-year-old will be available in January and will cost around €22 million. Roma signed the Girona player at the start of last season, but he failed to live up to expectations. The Ukrainian has 19 goals and six assists in 59 matches with the Italian team.
There have also been rumors of a move to Türkiye, but the player is not keen on joining the Turkish Super Lig. Dovbyk has also been linked with Newcastle United.
Dovbyk could be useful to West Ham
The opportunity to move to England could be exciting for him. Everton tried to recruit him at the start of the season.
West Ham are in desperate need of a quality striker and Dovbyk could solve their problems. He has the physicality necessary to adapt to English football, and he could be an asset for the London club. They are fighting for survival in the Premier League and need to add a reliable striker to survive. It will be interesting to see if they take the opportunity to close the deal.
Sunderland could use Artem Dovbyk
Meanwhile, Sunderland could also use more depth in the tracking unit. They have brought in some impressive recruits since their promotion. They will be pushing for a place in the midfield positions this season. They have been quite impressive in the Premier League so far. Adding the right players in January could help them improve further. Both clubs have the resources to pay €22 million to sign the player, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Dovbyk will be looking to join a club where he will play regularly at a competitive level. Both clubs could be interesting opportunities for him.
Roma hope to use the funds from his departure to improve the team. They have been linked to several players in recent weeks.
