West Ham Pursues Striker Options Amid Injuries

West Ham United is actively seeking new strikers, facing competition from Galatasaray for Olympique Marseille's Elye Wahi, who has struggled since joining the club but remains a promising talent. Wahi, valued at around €25 million, is considered by West Ham for an initial loan with a mandatory purchase option, influenced by a significant injury crisis in their squad. In addition, West Ham has been scouting Nice's Evann Guessand, who has had a strong season with nine goals, but acquiring him mid-season will be challenging due to his recent contract extension and Nice's competitive position. Both Guessand and Wahi are part of a broader search by West Ham as they look to bolster their attacking options following injuries to Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug. The club is also monitoring Nottingham Forest's Taiwo Awoniyi as they explore alternatives. Graham Potter, West Ham's manager, has emphasized the urgency of addressing the striker situation amid these injury setbacks.
