Joël Piroe was born on 2 August 1999 (age 27) and is a Dutch striker with a steady record in the British game. His most productive league season came at Swansea City in 2021–22, when he scored 22 goals in 45 appearances, a return that did most of the explaining for his reputation.
He later moved on to West Ham United, where his 2026–27 season has started with 13 appearances and four goals across all competitions. That includes three goals in seven Championship appearances, along with one goal in four FA Cup outings and two League Cup appearances.
Piroe was linked with a move to Celtic in January 2026. His current market value is around £13m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career to this point is built mainly on finishing rather than noise: a strong Swansea spell, a move to West Ham, and enough recent output to keep him relevant as an established first-team striker.
