Hammers boss David Moyes absolutely must sign at least two strikers this summer.
The Scot currently has Michail Antonio as the only recognised senior centre-forward amongst his ranks at the London Stadium.
Failing to sign a striker in January was a questionable move from West Ham. What’s done is done, however.
Now all that matters is addressing that particular issue in the summer.
West Ham to battle Everton for Hee-Chan Hwang?
Sport 1 claims that the Hammers and the Toffees both want to sign the 34-capped South Korea international in the summer.
Both David Moyes and Carlo Ancelotti are allegedly particularly keen on the 25-year-old attacker.
The RB Leipzig attacker has been described as a superstar in the making by Korean website K League United
Sport 1 claims that Hee-Chan Hwang could be available for just €15 million (£13 million) this summer.
That seems like outstanding value.
Hwang possesses an impressive career record, with 62 goals and 40 assists to his name in 199 appearances (Transfermarkt).
The 25-year-old is a hard-working striker and possesses real quality in the final third. He is also incredibly versatile and is comfortable playing anywhere along the front-line.

Whether he actually ends up at either the London Stadium or Goodison Park, however, remains to be seen.
