West Ham are looking to sign a new forward in January, four years after the deal which saw Jesse Lingard arrive from Manchester United
With Michail Antonio out for a year and his career in the balance, West Ham have no choice but to sign a new forward next month.
Like so many others before him, things have not worked out for Danny Ings in east London.
He is out of contract at the end of the season too.
The jury is still very much out on ageing striker Niclas Fullkrug, who has been out injured for three months and is yet to start a Premier League game for the Hammers.
There are also claims Fullkrug is unsettled in England and wants to leave.
It’s a major issue for West Ham as decent strikers don’t grow on trees.
All the proof needed on that score is provided by the fact the Hammers have signed 53 of them in the last 14 years.
One of West Ham’s best ever attacking signings in a January window was Jesse Lingard from Manchester United.
Lingard lit up the London Stadium during an unforgettable six-month loan from the Red Devils back in January 2021.
He scored nine goals and laid on four assists to help the Hammers finish sixth in the table and secure Europa League football.
