The Hammers are definitely light in the centre-forward department.

Michail Antonio’s hamstrings are a constant concern whilst the jury is still out on Sebastien Haller.

West Ham don’t have much money to spend in January, according to ExWHUemployee.

So David Moyes will have to be thrifty if he wants to bring anyone to the club next month.

According to a report from Calcio Mercato, Chelsea hitman Giroud is a target for the Hammers.

And talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook has claimed that Moyes is a huge admirer of the 34-year-old.

Sempre Inter recently claimed that Giroud may be available for just €5 million (£4.5 million) in January. That would represent a real bargain for West Ham.

The French World Cup winner may not be the Hammers fans’ number one choice, but he would definitely do a job for us for one or two seasons.

Giroud has scored 216 goals during his club career. The Chelsea ace is one of the very best there is in the air. He is incredibly good at leading the line and Haller could learn so much from the experienced striker.

£4 million or so for Giroud sounds like a great deal. And West Ham signing the Chelsea man seems like a no-brainer.

With Alex Crook claiming that Moyes is a huge admirer of the 34-year-old, it would be no surprise to see the former Arsenal ace rocking up in east London next month.
