West Ham could well be in the market for a new set of strikers this summer. Marko Arnautovic might push for a move to China again as he is unsettled (The Daily Mail).

Andy Carroll is out of contract. Lucas Perez is out of favour. And Javier Hernandez has been linked with Valencia with just one year remaining on his deal (Sky Sports News).

Manuel Pellegrini will be weighing up his options and here are four Championship strikers that could perk his interest.

Tammy Abraham

Tammy Abraham is on loan at Aston Villa from Chelsea and his tally of 21 goals has helped his side shoot into the play-off zone.

The twice-capped England international (and current England under-21 player) will surely fancy another shot at the Premier League next season.

Chelsea might want to keep the 21-year-old because of their transfer embargo but if he is made available for loan or permanent transfer, West Ham should consider it.

Che Adams

Premier League clubs are circling around Che Adams after a stunning season in front of goal for Birmingham City.

The 22-year-old is enjoying his best ever goal scoring campaign with 21 goals and three assists to his name for the mid-table side.

Given Adams’ ability to play in midfield or up front, he could be the perfect long-term option for the Irons.

Neal Maupay

Brentford striker Neal Maupay is one of the top scorers in the Championship and a constant threat for the opposition defence.

The Frenchman may be small but he has a knack for scoring goals and his return of 20 league goals this season has caught the eye.

West Ham could take a punt on the 22-year-old, who has the potential to become a successful poacher in the top flight.

Jay Rodriguez

West Brom striker Jay Rodriguez could be a good back-up option for West Ham – but only at the right price.

The once-capped England international has scored 18 and set up five in the Championship this season.

Alongside Dwight Gayle, the 29-year-old has impressed with his all-round game up front and if West Brom stay down, the Hammers could try to poach him on the cheap.
