West Ham are reportedly ‘interested’ in a late move for striker Salomon Rondon before the transfer window closes.
The Hammers could be set to hijack the Venezualian’s switch to Everton as David Moyes desperately attempts to bolster the attacking ranks before 11:00pm Tuesday.
Rondon currently plies his trade in China with Dalian Pro following a departure from West Brom in 2019.
However, according to a report from the Daily Mail, as cited by West Ham Fan Zone on Twitter, the Irons are considering bringing the 31-year-old back to England.

Capped on a remarkable 83 occasions at senior international level, Rondon certainly boasts a wealth of experience having made 435 club appearances across a 15-year professional career.
Recently the powerful frontman scored four goals and added two assists in 10 Premier Liga outings whilst on loan at CSKA Moscow.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valued at £4.5million and under contract until December 2022 in China (Transfermarkt), it would likely be relatively inexpensive to prize hijack the move to Everton.
Unsurprisingly given the Venezualeian’s physique, Rondon is credited with excellent aerial ability as well as finishing skill (WhoScored).
For the right price and at an affordable wage, West Ham could do a lot worse than the former Newcastle man as the backup to Michail Antonio for a season.
