The Mirror have reported that West Ham are ready to lodge a £15 million bid for out-of-sorts Burnley striker Andre Gray.
The Hammers already tried to sign the former Luton Town forward in January, however with Gray stuck in a contract dispute with his current club, West Ham could be ready to again make a move for the Englishman.
It is no secret West Ham are in hot pursuit of a striker (or two) this summer, and have been linked with a number of high profile names including Olivier Giroud and Raul Jimenez, and Gray is the latest name to be added to the already long list of potential targets.
The striker scored 10 goals for Burnley in his first ever season in top flight football, including a memorable hat-trick at Sunderland just before the turn of the year, however is now unsettled amidst disagreements over a new contract. His current deal with The Clarets runs out next summer.
Hammers fans have reacted to the news of the potential move, and can’t seem to make their mind up whether he is the man for the job or not. Here are some of the best …
People saying 'yes yes' clearly have unreal ambition…not.

Would love it if West Ham go for Andre Gray. QUALITY player, amazing against us last game, only £15m & FAR more realistic than other targets

He's not one of bigger names we've been linked with but I like Andre Gray, he's quick and skilful, I'd be happy with him although €15..

Why are West Ham fans reacting so badly to being linked with Andre Gray? Last summer and January we was linked and wanted it to happen badly
