Virals: West Ham account names five top striker targets

West Ham manager David Moyes looks to have plenty to ponder over the summer regarding a striker signing.

Once the Scot has masterminded UEFA Champions League qualification – or otherwise – the Irons chief will turn his attentions to bolstering the ranks at the London Stadium.

Following the January sale of misfit Sebastien Haller to Ajax, Moyes decided against signing a replacement as the window drew to a close.

That decision left plenty to be desired among the Hammers fanbase, although the arrival and subsequent impact of Jesse Lingard softened the blow dramatically.

Irons’ concentrated Twitter account, West Ham News & Views, has suggested five names they believe will be the focus of Moyes’ attention when the summer transfer window opens.

All names familiar to the West Ham rumour mill, although Moyes himself has recently ruled out the possibility of making a pricey £40million move for Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham.

The five players mentioned are realistic possibilities for a switch to east London, albeit all would cost reasonable transfer fees and the Irons would face major competition for each.

Perhaps Adam Armstrong and Adam Hlozek would present the most attainable options. the latter an 18-year-old sensation valued at £10.8million.

Meanwhile, Armstrong holds a market value of £14.4million and could be due a shot at the Premier League after taking the Championship by storm this season.
