Five strikers who could replace Sébastien Haller at West Ham

Patson Daka would be the ideal signing for David Moyes but Josh King may be a more realistic option

West Ham have a dire record when it comes to signing strikers. In the summer of 2019, the Hammers acquired Sébastien Haller from Eintracht Frankfurt for a club record fee that could have risen to £45m. He was viewed as the long-term solution to their striking woes. It has not worked out that way. Just 18 months later, West Ham have cut their losses on the Ivorian, selling him to Ajax for just £20m.

While Haller was never a hit at West Ham, his departure leaves the club short of attacking options. Michail Antonio is first choice under David Moyes when he is fit but, given his injury history, the club should not pin all of their hopes on the 30-year-old to make it to the end of the season without a spell on the sidelines. Moyes is likely to bring in another striker this month. Here are five players who could strengthen the team in the final third.
