These West Ham fans want to see Diego Costa signed

West Ham‘s well-documented striker search looks to be ending as a thankless task as time begins to run out on the Hammers, although there is still time for some last-minute speculation.

This time the Irons faithful have had their fires fuelled by Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri as he claimed Diego Costa had been ‘offered’ a move to the London Stadium.

Available on a free transfer, it’s a transfer with little in the way of complication in terms of turning a deal around quickly – whether David Moyes would sanction such a deal for the 32-year-old well-renowned troublemaker, however, is another question entirely.

Some desperate Hammers have had their say on the links as they face the prospect of entering the rest of the season with just one senior striker.

Here’s a pick of the reactions…
