According to Vi.
Background
Joël Piroe, now an official West Ham United player, has a chance to revive his career after moving from Leeds United. The 27-year-old striker, who now plays for Suriname, is seen as a key player for West Ham's ambitions to return to the Premier League. With the addition of Piroe, together with Joël Veltman, the club strengthens its Dutch contingent in the selection.
Why this matters
The arrival of Joël Piroe to West Ham United marks an important step for the club, which now wants to quickly return to the top level after a disappointing season in the Premier League. Piroe's impressive record in the Championship, with 73 goals in 179 games, makes him a valuable asset to the Hammers' attacking line. With his shirt number 9, the club hopes that he can deliver the goals needed for promotion.

Joël Piroe has been officially presented as West Ham United's new striker. The Dutch attacker, who now plays for Suriname, is rented from Leeds United for one season. The agreement includes an option to purchase, which can be activated when certain conditions are met. In London, Piroe will be given shirt number 9, the classic number for the goalscorer on which the club has based its promotion dream.
West Ham was relegated from the Premier League last season as number eighteen and wants to immediately return to the highest level. With Piroe, the club has acquired a proven finisher at Championship level: the 27-year-old striker scored 73 goals in 179 games in that competition. That track record must now translate into returns for The Hammers, who have wanted to further refresh their attacking line to start their upward trajectory.
Piroe's presentation was accompanied by a video message in which a fan updated him about club culture in East London. The message seemed to resonate. 'I see West Ham as a club that belongs in the Premier League. With my experience, I think I can help the club achieve the set goals," said Piroe at his presentation as a newcomer.
Piroe's arrival fits in with a series of personnel changes at West Ham. Earlier in August, Joël Veltman was added to the selection on a free transfer, making Piroe the second Dutch Joël in the dressing room. At the same time, they were moved to the forefront: on Tuesday, striker Niclas Füllkrug was sold via a loan period to Werder Bremen. The expectation is that Piroe will immediately compete for a starting place with his goal-orientedness and will make important minutes in the hunt for promotion.
For Leeds United, the deal means that Piroe will operate outside Elland Road for the time being, while the club will operate via theincluded purchase option provides a prospect of a definitive solution. For West Ham, the construction offers the opportunity to have a productive number 9 in the short term, with the possibility of retaining him for a longer period if successful.
With the official confirmation, Piroe can be deployed immediately as soon as the administrative formalities have been completed. West Ham is counting on its nose for goal and experience in the Championship to give the team extra scoring power. The appointment of Piroe as number 9 underlines the ambition: to return to the Premier League as quickly as possible and return home to the level where, in the words of the striker himself, the club belongs.
What's happening now
West Ham United will now hope that Piroe adapts quickly to the club and fulfills his potential in the Championship. The loan deal with an option to buy gives the club the flexibility to sign Piroe permanently, depending on his performance. If he can continue his goal production, this could be a crucial factor in the battle for promotion to the Premier League.
