West Ham United have another striker name to watch after ExWHUEmployee claimed Wilson Isidor could become available on either a permanent deal or a loan.
The Sunderland forward now enters the discussion at a time when Nuno Espirito Santo needs clarity through the middle of his attack.
West Ham have already been linked with Swansea City forward Zan Vipotnik, and ReadWestHam’s recent look at the Vipotnik striker question showed why the club must define the exact forward profile they want.
Isidor gives that debate a different angle.
Sunderland signed him permanently from Zenit St Petersburg in 2025 after an initial loan spell, with the club confirming a contract until 2028.
Isidor Would Give West Ham Flexibility
The key detail is the structure.
If Isidor becomes available on loan, West Ham could add forward depth without committing a major fee early in the window. If Sunderland prefer a permanent deal, the Hammers would need to judge whether his profile fits the rebuild beyond one Championship season.
That matters because West Ham cannot keep collecting forwards without a clear plan.
Nuno needs pace, movement and reliability, not just another body on the squad list.
Isidor has experience in English football and has already handled the physical rhythm of the Championship. That should make him a sensible name to assess.
But West Ham still need discipline.
The club must decide whether Isidor solves a specific problem or simply joins a growing list of possible striker options.
For now, this is one to track rather than oversell.
