Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee is fast becoming one of the most in-demand players ahead of the January transfer window, with several Premier League and European clubs preparing for the Dutch forward.
According to TEAMtalkWest Ham United are among five English clubs monitoring the 24-year-old’s situation, while Sevilla and PSV Eindhoven have also shown serious interest in securing his signature.
Zirkzee, who joined Man United last year with high expectations, has shown flashes of enormous potential but has struggled to carve out a consistent place in Ruben Amorim’s starting line-up.
Joshua Zirkzee wants Man United to leave
With the 2026 World Cup looming, the forward is now reportedly pushing for regular first-team football to boost his chances of a place in Ronald Koeman’s Netherlands squad.
Sources close to the player suggest Zirkzee remains fully professional and committed at United but is increasingly concerned about his lack of playing time.
However, United are reluctant to part ways with Zirkzee mid-season. The club’s hierarchy are reportedly keen to keep the current squad intact through the second half of the season, especially as Amorim tries to keep injuries under control and maintain attacking depth.
Nevertheless, the Red Devils are aware that interest could increase if Zirkzee’s situation does not improve by early January.
West Ham United appear to be prioritizing a new striker to lighten Jarrod Bowen’s workload, and Zirkzee’s mix of power, creativity and technical skill makes him a prime target.
Competition is fierce to sign the Dutch attacker
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently noted that “clubs across Europe are closely monitoring Zirkzee’s situation,” adding that “his profile fits many systems, he is versatile, young and motivated for a World Cup cycle.”
With interest growing on multiple fronts and Zirkzee’s desire for regular football clear, Man United could face a crucial decision in the coming months.
Whether they choose to stand firm or raise cash remains to be seen. The Dutchman only played four games in the Premier League This season since Amorim prefers Benjamin Sesko over the former Serie A striker.
