Allardyce has long been in the search for a new striker, with a long-term injury to Andy Carroll, leaving him to opt for the decent pairing of Modibo Maiga and Mladen Petric for the striker's role.<br />

The Mirror claims that the French International is among the 20-name transfer shortlist which the Hammers manager has made, with the club's scouts have a close watch at the players before the resumption of the transfer window in January.<br />

The 27-year-old striker has notched up 6 goals in 12 appearances for the club this season.
