David Moyes will be desperate to bring one if not two new strikers to the London Stadium this month.
Sebastien Haller completed his £20 million move to Ajax yesterday (Goal).
West Ham now have Michail Antonio as their only recognised centre-forward.
The Evening Standard claims that Arsenal hitman Eddie Nketiah could be the man for the job.
Some West Ham fans have taken to Twitter in reaction to the links with Gunners ace Eddie Nketiah:
The 21-year-old is still yet to be given a regular run of games by Mikel Arteta at the Emirates.
It is clear to see that he has incredible potential, however. He has scored 12 goals in 57 games for the Gunners as well (Transfermarkt). So it’s not as if he is totally unproven.
The England under-21 international is an aggressive presser and someone who works the front-line impressively.
Nketiah has been compared to Ian Wright in his younger years. If given regular action, he may well reach the next level.
There is one big problem, however. Arsenal value the striker at around £30 million (talkSPORT).
West Ham boss David Moyes will not be given that much to spend on one player. So some common ground will need to be found if the Scot is to bring Eddie Nketiah to the London Stadium this month.
