Recruiting a new striker or two is something West Ham need to focus on in the summer transfer window and one of their reported targets has made a move to make a summer transfer more likely.
Hamburg striker Bobby Wood has changed agents from SportsTotal to the Volker Struth group as he continues to assess his options at the end of the season with interest mounting in him.
West Ham have been linked with a move for the USA international but BILD notes that there is growing interest in his services from England.
The 24-year-old has spent his entire professional career in German football starting out life with 1860 Munich before making a £680,000 switch to Union Berlin in the summer of 2015.
Wood made his breakthrough with the 2. Bundesliga outfit, scoring 17 goals in 32 games for the club which earned him a move to Germany’s top tier with Hamburg.
So far this season, Wood has netted nine goals in 23 games in all competitions and could be set for a move to the Premier League if West Ham are willing to make a concrete offer for the striker.
With Jonathan Calleri not being kept on when his loan expires in the summer and Enner Valencia likely to make a permanent move following a year out on loan with Everton, the Hammers will be short of options in attack and Wood seems like a player Slaven Bilic is keen on.
