Sport nationWest Ham United are reportedly set to bring in a new striker in the January transfer window, following showdown talks between manager Julen Lopetegui and owner David Sullivan.
According to The Daily Mail, Lopetegui has made it clear to Sullivan that a new striker is his top priority in the January window. This comes as no surprise, given the Hammers’ struggles in front of goal this season.
Michail Antonio is expected to be out of action for at least 12 months after being involved in a horrific car accident, while Niclas Fullkrug has struggled to make an impact in the Premier League. Danny Ings, meanwhile, has not been able to replicate his form from previous seasons.
Lopetegui and Sullivan have been in discussions about potential targets, and it is likely that the Hammers will make a significant bid for a proven goalscorer in the January window.
The news will come as a relief to West Ham fans, who have been calling for the club to sign a new striker for some time. With the Hammers struggling to score goals, the addition of a clinical finisher could make all the difference in their quest for success this season.
It remains to be seen who West Ham will target in the January window, but one thing is clear: the club needs to bring in a new striker if they are to have any chance of achieving their goals this season.
In other news, Lopetegui’s job seems to be safe for now, and he may well get another transfer window to strengthen his ranks. However, the pressure is still on the Spaniard to deliver results, and the addition of a new striker will be crucial in helping him to achieve that goal.
