The Hammers seem to be searching far and wide for a couple of new centre-forwards ahead of the new season.
David Moyes desperately needs to bring at least two established goalscorers to the London Stadium this summer.
West Ham have already been linked with at least 30 centre-forwards!
One name to have been persistently linked with a move to the London Stadium is Olivier Giroud (Eurosport).
West Ham make first Giroud move?
The Hammers have made a contract offer to the Chelsea hitman according to Calcio Mercato.
He will be available on a free transfer this summer when his contract expires at Stamford Bridge.
The Frenchman is criminally underrated. He is one of the best target men in the business.
Sure, at 34 his powers are on the decline. He still has a lot to offer for another one or two years, however.
Giroud has scored a superb 265 goals for club and country throughout his career to date (Transfermarkt).
The former Arsenal man would certainly be able to do a job for the Hammers for at least a season.
Signing him on a free transfer seems like an absolute no-brainer. AC Milan are said to be closing in on his services, however.
