The Hammers have been fairly goal-shy this season.

Moyes’s men have scored the lowest number of goals out of all the teams currently inside the top six.

West Ham’s only senior recognised centre-forward is Michail Antonio. Our top scorer this season is central midfielder Tomas Soucek with eight goals to his name.

Jarrod Bowen has five goals to his name whilst the likes of Antonio, Pablo Fornals and Jesse Lingard have chipped in as well.

David Moyes admits he wants 15-goal striker at West Ham

The fact that the Hammers players all chip in with goals is a good thing. It means that we’re not overly reliant on one player.

David Moyes told reporters that he would like to have a regular goalscorer in his team, however, as quoted by the club’s official website:

“You need goals spread around the team, but we’d also like someone to get 15 too!”

Hopefully the board back Moyes in the summer and bring in at least one, but preferable two new strikers.

West Ham are in a great place to make real progress and make a step up to the next level.

And the addition of a couple of clinical strikers may well be all that’s missing on our quest to do just that.
