According to a report from The Telegraph, West Ham United are eyeing a move to sign RB Leipzig ace Hee-Chan Hwang as a cheaper alternative to Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.

Hammers boss David Moyes will be prioritising the addition of a top class centre-forward this summer.
In fact, it could be argued that we actually need to sign two.
The West Ham boss will have a limited transfer budget at his disposal, however. So he will have to be thrifty in his player recruitment this summer.
West Ham consider Hee-Chan Hwang as Tammy Abraham alternative
The Telegraph claims that the Hammers could sign the 34-capped South Korea international for just £10 million this summer.
And that appeals to West Ham far more than shelling out £40 million for Chelsea hitman Tammy Abraham.
The 25-year-old would be a very smart addition to David Moyes’s squad.
The RB Leipzig attacker has been described as a superstar in the making by Korean website K League United.
Hwang possesses an impressive career record, with 63 goals and 41 assists to his name in 200 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.
