West Ham boss David Moyes should definitely be on the look out for a new striker in January.
The Scot needs to add more quality competition and cover for Michail Antonio and Sebastien Haller.
Funds will undoubtedly be limited at West Ham once again in January, however. So Moyes will have to be thrifty in his player recruitment.
Nevertheless, ExWHUemployee has claimed that the Hammers could make a move to sign Blackburn Rovers hitman Adam Armstrong.
The 23-year-old has been on fire for Blackburn in the Championship this season, with 12 goals in 12 Championship games to his name (Transfermarkt).
He is also the league’s top scorer so far this term.
The former Newcastle United hitman is diminutive, a tireless worker and has all of the qualities needed to compete with Michail Antonio and Sebastien Haller for a starting role.
If West Ham could pick up Armstrong for a reasonable fee, it would be an absolute no brainer for us.
