Manuel Pellegrini has his eyes set on a deal to sign another striker this summer, according to the London Evening Standard.
West Ham could be about to enter the new season with just two strikers available in the form of Javier Hernandez and Jordan Hugill.
The report claims that the Hammers are being linked with Porto striker Moussa Marega, who has long been linked with a move to the Premier League.
Marko Arnautovic was largely used as a central striker under David Moyes and impressed there, but it is yet to be seen where Pellegrini plans to use the Austrian.
The Hammers have been busy in the transfer market this summer, bringing in the likes of Jack Wilshere, Felipe Anderson, Issa Diop, Andriy Yarmolenko, Ryan Fredericks, Fabian Balbuena and Lukasz Fabianski.
The club have backed the new manager in the transfer market as they look to improve on their domestic performance in the upcoming season.
