Joël Piroe, born on 2 August 1999 (age 27), is a Dutch striker with West Ham United. His current market value is around £13m, according to Transfermarkt.
He came to wider notice in British football with Swansea City, where his best league season came in 2021-22. A return of 22 goals in 45 appearances was the sort of output that tends to travel well, even allowing for the usual caveats around strikers and context.
Piroe later moved on to West Ham United, where he is listed primarily as a striker. In 2026-27, he has scored once in one Championship appearance and once in four FA Cup matches for the club.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in January 2026. As it stands, his career has been shaped most clearly by his goals at Swansea and his subsequent spell at West Ham, with his profile remaining that of a forward judged, fairly or otherwise, on end product.
