With Sebastian Haller not being able to net as frequently as many West Ham fans would like, the Hammers may be tempted to go in for another attacker.

Everton is able to play in most positions up front, and could be a huge asset for the Hammers.

However, with other teams interested, they could be in for a battle for his signature.
