The search for a striker continues to dominate all the headlines surrounding West Ham United once again this week.
Big name players including Michy Batshuayi, Alexandre Lacazette and Simone Zaza have all been linked with a move to the Hammers as Slaven Bilic looks to bring a proven striker into the squad.
My sources have confirmed to me that the Club have bids out for many players at the moment and are continuing to work hard behind the scenes as they look to secure the best possible deal.
It is my understanding that reports stating that we have made substantial bids for Batshuayi and Zaza are correct but there are no imminent moves in the pipeline.
Reports this week have also stated that the Hammers have made an offer for Besiktas midfielder Atiba Hutchinson.
I have been told that the Canadian international is a target for the Club and they are waiting to see if a deal can materialise in the near future.
