West Ham are believed to have Liverpool striker Divock Origi ‘on their radar’ as the transfer window enters the final two weeks.
The Hammers are in need of an additional striker before the summer window closes on August 31 following the January departure of Sebastien Haller.
Current, Irons’ boss David Moyes only has Michail Antonio at his disposal as a senior frontman.
According to a report from The Telegraph, as cited by Football Extra on Twitter, West Ham are considering a move for the 26-year-old.

The report also cites interest from Premier League rivals Wolves and Crystal Palace as clubs look to finalise their squads before deadline day passes.
Origi was an unused substitute on Saturday as Liverpool overcame Norwich City 3-0 at Carrow Road.
Last season the 29-cap Belgium international scored once and registered two assists in 17 appearances across all competitions.

Perhaps far from a mainstay in the starting XI at Liverpool, the Belgian forward possesses an abundance of attributes that would make him the ideal candidate to offer support to Antonio.
Already a serial trophy winner with goalscoring experience on the biggest of stages, Origi would be able to cope with the demands of Europa League football seamlessly.
Mooted to be available for around £12million as the window nears an end, this should certainly be an option under consideration at the London Stadium.
