West Ham need to go all out to sign two new centre-forwards in the summer. And Hammers boss David Moyes should be going all out to bring Brentford and Blackburn Rovers strikers Ivan Toney and Adam Armstrong to the London Stadium at the end of the season.

Incredibly, Moyes chose not to sign a new striker in January.
The Scot absolutely has to rectify that in the summer, however.
Michail Antonio is our only recognised senior centre-forward and he isn’t even a natural striker!
At 30, Michy is approaching the twilight years of his career.
It was only six months ago when we had four strikers in the form of Antonio, Sebastien Haller, Albian Ajeti and Jordan Hugill.
Now, West Ham only have one. So it is very clear to see that the Hammers need to sign TWO strikers at the very least this summer.
West Ham need to go all out for Ivan Toney and Adam Armstrong
And Ivan Toney and Adam Armstrong would be the perfect two signings for us.
The duo have been on fire in the Championship this season.
Brentford ace Toney has racked up 24 goals and nine assists in 30 league games so far (Transfermarkt).
Blackburn hitman Armstrong, meanwhile, has 20 goals and three assists to his name in 31 games (Transfermarkt).
Toney, 24, is valued at around £25 million according to the Athletic. Armstrong, 24, could be picked up for just £10 million according to a report from the Sun.
If West Ham can pick the two players up for just £35 million, it really would be great value. Even if we had to pay £45 million for the pair, it would be a no-brainer for David Moyes.
It would certainly make more sense than paying that kind of money for Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri.
Let’s just hope that the West Ham board are ready to show some real ambition this summer.
