It’s not easy shopping for a striker. Over the years, the likes of Carlos Tevez, Dean Ashton and Demba Ba have offered a real goalscoring threat up front but for a variety of reasons, they never stayed in the famous claret and blue for very long.

Now, after another season exposed the Hammers’ lack of firepower up front, the owners are looking to make a real statement by signing a top class centre-forward to lead West Ham into a new era at the Olympic Stadium.

The prime target has been Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette but it looks as if the French club are demanding too high a fee for the player’s services. Another potential option is Marseille’s Michy Batshuyai but news on him has gone quiet in the past few weeks.

Whether the Hammers capture one of their top targets is something we’ve all got to wish for but even if they do miss out on either player from Ligue 1, there are still plenty of quality strikers out there.

Therefore, we’ve devised a list of seven quality strikers that West Ham should be chasing. Many of these names have not been mentioned as possible targets but they are expected to move this summer and West Ham should take note.
