'Striker Scuffles' As Hammers Linked To Ex-Premier League Striker

Submitted by Louis Nixon on Thu, 16/10/2025 - 07:58

Upon recent news of Nichlas Fullkrug receiving his now 3rd injury in the International break, it has sparked a debate amongst the club and how it is likely that the Hammers will look to sign another forward in January, seeing as we're currently down to just the Callums.

Nuno Espirito Santo has spoken to the club and said he'd like to look for a striker who is young and also hungry, which could become a prospect as time passes, a breath of fresh air for the West Ham fans seeing as all have relentlessly pressed the club about the targets we ultimately acquire instead of being after a rathe individual which we so desperately need.

Nuno had already fallen out of favour with Fullkrug, and throughout the Arsenal game, he was fairly replaced by Callum Marshall who made his debut for the club. Callum Wilson also doesn't appear to be in high favour of the Portuguese manager, which has been shown twice through his dismissal to use a player of his calibre, seeing as he typically prefers a bigger target forward. Though Marshall doesn't fit that description, Nuno made it known that his work ethic shown in training and throughout his arrival is what warranted his appearance.

The Hammers have recently linked themselves towards Ivan Toney, who has been said to be 'highly interested' in a move back to England, seeing as he's attempting to bolster his 2026 World Cup hopes and coming back to the Premier League would be his best way to achieve that in Tuchel's eyes.

Numerous clubs have declared interest in the Englishman, but a transfer could be difficult, seeing as most clubs either can't afford him or perhaps more simply, the managers aren't as interested as it doesn't fit their style of player, or that they've already got what they need.

Any deal that the Hammers have previously attempted with Saudi Arabia hasn't gone well, and usually, it's a difficulty due to the taxes that the players face once returning to England.

His wages are sky high so whilst Sullivan who would not pay £10million for him back in the day is more than happy to have it seen in the news that we are chasing the striker the truth is it will be some unheard of cheapo striker from France or some knackered old warhorse from yestayear just the type Sullivan likes.

Would not mind getting him in January he's only 24 got a point to make after being after being out of favour with Ruben Amorim and has just been dropped by Holland because he is getting no game time 6ft 5in good in air Desperate to play in the world cup probably to much for Sullivan to pay out though. Don't know what all this Hype is about Fullkrug don't think Nuno would have played him anyway, aint it funny that he's out for 3months be fit just when the Jan window closes what a surprise! we bought another Granny Dings and i think hes got a 4year contract
