West Ham United want to sign Arsenal striker?

West Ham United have identified Eddie Nketiah as a potential candidate to bolster their strike force during the current transfer window.

The Hammers recently parted ways with Sebastien Haller and that has left Michail Antonio as the only recognised striker in their ranks.

They are likely to address the issue this month and Standard Sport claims that they are looking into a possible move for Nketiah.

The Gunners graduate has made 21 appearances this term and 12 of those have come in the Premier League.

However, he has been an unused substitute in the past three games with Alexandre Lacazette finding his scoring touch.

The Gunners are not actively looking to sell Nketiah, but they are in need of transfer funds to purchase a creative midfielder this month.

That could tempt them to sanction the sale of the 21-year-old, who has entered the final 18 months of his contract.

Aside from Nketiah, the Hammers also have Bournemouth's Josh King on their radar as they look to sign someone with Premier League experience.
