Beijing time on January 28, according to the British "Daily Mail" news, the team West Ham United is interested in the introduction of Italian striker Pelé, but the Shandong Luneng striker's wages are very high, if you want to return to the Premier League, Pelé needs to accept a significant pay cut.
Pelle joined Shandong Luneng in the summer of 2016, when the two sides signed a contract until December 30, 2018. Upon arriving on the field, Pelle performed well, with a very good header and a knack for giving the ball to his teammates. However, the high center forward's goal scoring efficiency was not high, and in 39 appearances on behalf of Luneng, he only scored 11 goals and had 5 assists. Last season, Luneng did not qualify for the AFC Champions League, and Pelai's performance did not meet the club's expectations.
The Daily Mail has revealed that Pelle is desperate to return to Europe and that West Ham United in the Premier League have a strong interest in him, with Moyes hoping to sign him and Pelle himself willing to reunite with his former Southampton teammate Vonte at West Ham United. Having previously played for Southampton in the Premier League, when he scored 30 goals, Pelle has a lot of experience, which is something that appeals to Moyes.
However, Pelle, who earns £13.5 million a year at Shandong Luneng, will need to accept a significant pay cut if he hopes to return to Premier League football, as West Ham United cannot afford to pay his huge wages. Italian soccer transfer expert Di Marzio has also confirmed the news, with the Hammers reportedly hoping to complete a deal before the winter window closes, and West Ham United officials have approached Pelle's agent in an attempt to negotiate an annual salary.
Aside from Shandong Luneng's Pelle, West Ham United's other option is Liverpool's Sturridge, although the Reds are not sure about sending the striker away at the moment.
