Caught Offside West Ham line up bid to sign striker with five goals in 10 games With only Danny Ings and Michail Antonio as their two out and out strikers, it‚Äôs completely understandable why a forward-looking West Ham might be wanting to delve into the transfer market again. After shoring up their defence and midfield with some superb summer signings, the Hammers are still woefully short in attack, despite the club registering 16 goals overall in the Premier League this season. If the east Londoners genuinely have aspirations to be a force domestically and in Europe, then there‚Äôs an obvious need to buy a striker who knows where the goal is. RB Salzburg‚Äôs 19-year-old sensation, Karim Konate, has already hit five goals in 10 Austrian Bundesliga games this season per WhoScored, and according to 90Min, he remains on a hit-list of some of European football‚Äôs top strikers which also includes Stuttgart‚Äôs Serhou Guirassy and Paris Saint-Germain‚Äôs Hugo Ekitike. It isn‚Äôt clear at this stage if David Moyes and sporting director, Tim Steidten, have a list drawn up in terms of priority or whether they are casting the net as wide as possible on the continent and seeing the sort of reaction they receive. What it does show is that the Hammers are again being pro-active in terms of transfer market acquisitions, rather than being reactive as they have been in the past. West Ham scouting Greek hit-man who bagged a hat-trick at the weekend It seems clear that Michail Antonio‚Äôs days as West Ham‚Äôs main striker could be numbered after it was revealed that the Hammers are scouting for a new hit-man. After a tremendous start to the 2023/24 campaign, the Hammers have dropped off a little form wise in the last couple of weeks, and with Antonio only managing two goals so far, per WhoScored, it‚Äôs obvious where their current issues are. At 33 years of age, Antonio is getting no younger either, so once the January transfer window comes around, David Moyes and Tim Steidten need to ensure any potential targets get secured. As long as the east Londoners are still in Europe, having a more prolific front man could be the difference between success domestically and in the Europa League, or failure. According to 90Min, the club had scouts at the recent AZ Alkmaar vs Heerenveen Eredivisie match, and they were there to watch Vangelis Pavlidis who didn‚Äôt disappoint. The 24-year-old Greek hit man scored a hat-trick to take him to 13 goals for the season, the best output for a striker the Dutch top-flight this season. Only Feyenoord‚Äôs Santiago Gimenez is level with him at this stage. It isn‚Äôt clear how much the player would cost, assuming the Dutch side would be willing to part with a marksman who has scored over half of their 25 goals this season. With respect, the Premier League will be a step up for Pavlidis, however, the Hammers have strengthened well in other areas in 23/24, and will surely be aware that having a prolific front man will complete the squad.

After Napoli and Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham United and Tottenham also became interested in ƒ?smail Y?ºksek The suitors of ƒ?smail Y?ºksek, who suddenly became the favorite of European giants after his performance in the National Team, continue to increase.
