West Ham Eyes Zirkzee as Agent Opens Transfer Talks
London, October 17, 2025 – Joshua Zirkzee is at the center of transfer speculation as his agent has reportedly engaged in discussions with West Ham United regarding a potential move in January. Football insider Fabrizio Romano reports that despite Zirkzee’s commitment to Bologna, his growing frustration over limited playing time could prompt a transfer. West Ham United are reportedly prepared to offer around £30 million for the talented striker.
Zirkzee’s impressive career includes a trophy-laden spell with Bayern Munich, where he secured five titles during the 2019-2020 season: the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, two Bundesliga titles, and the DFB-Pokal. He also boasts several youth championships and individual accolades, including the Serie A Best Young Player award for the 2023-2024 season. His club honors extend to two DFL-Supercup titles, a UEFA Supercup, and championships with Bayern Munich II and U19 teams.
Since joining Manchester United, Zirkzee has continued to showcase his talent. In the 2024-25 season, he scored on his Premier League debut, found the net in the Carabao Cup quarter-final, and added goals in the FA Cup and UEFA Europa League. He was also a vital part of the squad that clinched the UEFA Champions League title in the 2024-25 season.
West Ham’s newly appointed coach, Nuno Espírito Santo, has confirmed his interest in Zirkzee, stating, “He would be a very good addition to our squad. He can change the team’s struggles.” West Ham currently sit 19th in the league table with just four points from seven games.
The potential acquisition of Zirkzee could provide a significant boost to West Ham’s attacking options and overall team performance. His proven goal-scoring ability and experience in top-tier competitions make him an attractive prospect as the Hammers aim to climb up the Premier League standings and make a mark in European competitions.
As the January transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Zirkzee’s next move. Whether he decides to stay at Bologna or embark on a new chapter with West Ham, his decision will undoubtedly have a significant impact on both clubs.
