Liverpool striker Divock Origi has emerged as a possible replacement for the out-of-favour Lucas Perez at West Ham.
According to the Daily Star, as cited on HITC, the Hammers could launch a January move to sign the Belgian, should Perez go on to leave the club this month.
After failing to break into Manuel Pellegrini’s plans since his arrival over the summer, Perez is being heavily linked with a move back to Spain.
Real Betis are keen to snap the striker, but West Ham are eager to ensure that they are not left short of options in the final third.
The Spaniard has been unable to recreate the form he showed in La Liga over in the Premier League, both with Arsenal and now West Ham.
Like Perez, Origi is also out of favour at Anfield and has found game time to come by this season.
Despite securing hero status at Liverpool with his late goal against Everton in the Merseyside derby, a move away from the club is looking increasingly likely.
