West Ham are keen to add another striker to their squad, with Yannick Sagbo the latest target, according the The Daily Mail.
Sam Allardyce is eager to bolster his attacking options despite having 6 recognisable strikers at the club. Sam Baldock, Nicky Maynard, Carlton Cole, Ricardo Vaz Te, Freddie Sears and Frederic Piquionne are all on the books at Upton Park. However, it is expected that a majority of these strikers will depart in order to accommodate incoming players.
In addition to the Hammers interest in Sagbo, an offer for Norwich skipper Grant Holt has also been made, whilst an enquiry has been readied for Inter Milan youngster Luc Castaignos in relation to a loan deal.
Sagbo, who plays for the tongue twisting Evian Thonon Gaillard in France, scored 12 goals last season despite his side stuttering at the wrong end of the table. The 24-year old has earned a cap for the Ivory Coast and is believed to be worth around £4 million. A pacey striker, Sagbo had a goalless spell at Monaco before moving to Evian.
West Ham have already been active in the transfer market, signing Finnish ‘keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen, midfield Mohamed Diame and stopper Stephen Henderson from cash strapped Portsmouth.
