West Ham United are weighing up a move for Nigerian midfielder Tochukwu Nnadi as they look to reinforce their squad in the winter transfer window, according to the Africafoot report.
Although the window has yet to open, several Premier League clubs have already begun early discussions, and West Ham are understood to be among them as they attempt to arrest a difficult start to the season. David Moyes’ side sit 18th in the table and are seeking fresh options in midfield.
Club scouts have reportedly made multiple trips to Belgium to watch the 22-year-old, who has impressed for Zulte Waregem this season. Sporting director Mark Noble is said to be an admirer of Nnadi’s athleticism and technical ability, with talks centred around a fee in the region of €4m and a proposed five-year deal.

Nnadi, under contract until 2028, is believed to be open to a move should the clubs agree terms. A member of his entourage stated that the former Nigeria U-20 international sees the Premier League as his long-term ambition.
Renowned for his energy and ball-winning presence, Nnadi has made 14 league appearances this campaign and has been a key figure in Zulte Waregem’s midfield. His current Transfermarkt value stands at around €900,000.
