Hammers boss David Moyes is clearly desperate to bolster his attacking ranks at the London Stadium this summer.
It is obvious to see that the Scot is being very picky, however. That’s a good thing though when considering some of the horrendous signings West Ham made before Moyes’s tenure.
Moyes is using due diligence in the transfer market this summer. And we back and trust him 100 per cent.
West Ham turn down four strikers
The Hammers have been offered the chance to sign Tammy Abraham, Odsonne Edouard, Luuk de Jong and Alassane Plea over the past two weeks according to The Express.
Moyes has decided not to bring any of them to the London Stadium, however.
Hopefully West Ham do manage to sign a striker before the transfer window closes.
It is clear to see that Moyes will not just bring in anybody to appease fans and pundits, however.
The problem for West Ham is that anyone who comes in will know that they are second choice behind Michail Antonio.
So that in itself rules out the potential arrival of an elite striker. That’s fine though. Moyes just needs to bring in someone who works hard and has similar attributes to Antonio.
So if the 31-year-old gets injured, we are then in a good place to compete without him.
