West Ham desperately need a new striker after selling Sebastien Haller to Ajax for £20million.

Hopes of West Ham’s best season for 35 years resting on Antonio’s injury-prone hamstrings
After their best start to a top flight season for 35 years, West Ham could jeopordise a truly promising campaign should Antonio suffer another injury.
David Moyes has been linked with a host of strikers from all corners of the globe. But he has just seven days remaining of the winter transfer window.
Moyes rested Antonio for West Ham’s 4-0 FA Cup win over Doncaster on Saturday.

Academy striker Oladapo Alofayan – who turns 24 this year – also scored a tap-in on his debut.
Now many West Ham fans are convinced of the same thing, that owners David Sullivan and David Gold will use it as an excuse not to sign a striker this week.
West Ham have an abysmal record of signing strikers under the tenure of Sullivan and Gold.
That was highlighted best by a report from The Daily Mail which listed all 49 forwards signed over their 11-year reign.
