West Ham targets Premier League forwards to bolster attack
West Ham is facing a difficult situation with their forwards after injuries to Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen have significantly limited Julen Lopetegui's options. Despite signing Niclas Füllkrug in the summer, the Hammers are preparing to return to the transfer market.
Details: According to The Telegraph, West Ham’s shortlist includes Emmanuel Latte Lath from Middlesbrough, Hwang Hee-chan from Wolverhampton, and Evan Ferguson from Brighton. Brighton appears willing to loan Ferguson out, with a preference for keeping him within the Premier League.
Reminder: Michail Antonio was involved in a car accident in December and was discharged from the hospital just before the New Year. Reports indicate that the 34-year-old forward sustained a broken leg in the incident, which is expected to keep him out of action for at least a year. It remains uncertain whether he will resume his football career.
