As the January transfer deadline loomed, West Ham fans would’ve taken almost any striker at the London Stadium having allowed Sebastien Haller to leave the club.

With the summer transfer rumour mill in full swing, the Irons have been linked with numerous striking options.
The latest cab off the rank is somewhat of a throwback to previous windows, with a report from Spanish newspaper AS claiming West Ham may attempt to pull off an ambitious double swoop for Maxi Gomez and Goncalo Guedes.
This isn’t the Hammers first brush with Gomez and many supporters have voiced their displeasure at the groundhog day speculation on Twitter...
