English Championship side West Ham have made an offer to acquire Jubilo Iwata and Japanese national team striker Ryoichi Maeda according to Nikkan Sports<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Maeda is set to become free agent after his current two-year contract with Jubilo expires. In addition to his current club offering an extension, he has received interest from fellow J-League side Yokohama F. Marinos as well as other teams.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The 30-year-old recorded his 250th appearance this season, his 12th with the Shizuoka-based team. He failed to earn a third straight Golden Boot after scoring 20 and 17 goals in 2009 and 2010, but finished the season with a respectable 14 strikes despite mid-summer injuries.<\/p>\n

Maeda stood out as a member of this year’s Samurai Blue squad, scoring three goals in Japan’s championship run at the Asian Cup. He also scored against Tajikistan in World Cup qualifying this fall.<\/p>\n

“I definitely want to challenge myself overseas as I’m not getting any younger,” the player said in January following his country’s Asian Cup victory.<\/p>\n

“But right now that’s all hypothetical.”<\/p>\n

Questions are arising, however, of whether the star would be able to earn a UK working permit. Current rules require players to appear in at least 75% of their country’s ‘A’ matches in a two-year span; Maeda would not meet those figures despite having earned eight caps in 2011, but exceptions have been made in the past.<\/p>\n

West Ham, currently second in the Championship, is said to have offered Maeda a two-year contract at roughly \u20ac1.5 million per year. If accurate, the veteran would earn triple the amount he is believed to be recieving from Jubilo. Maeda would be the second Japanese player in the Championship, following Leicester City defender Yuki Abe.<\/p>\n

“It’s true that Maeda is on our list [of potential acquisitions],” an un-named West Ham official admitted, according to the paper.<\/p>\n

“But we can’t comment as to whether or not we’ve made him an offer.”\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
