Hammers close in on the big three
Despite talk of Joe Hart and various midfielders interesting the club Slaven Bilic has his mind totally focused on front men.
And we understand the club are ready to bringing in two front men with Michy Batshuayi, Kelechi Iheancho and Olivier Giroud the three big options.
But the club have learned that Chelsea are more interested in allowing the Belgian international out on loan rather than on a permanent basis.
A Hammers source told us: “It’s a tricky situation at the moment because Chelsea are very much in the market place themselves and want to settle their own departures and arrivals before doing business.
However, the Hammers interest in Iheanacho and Giroud is very live and real with talks going on between agents.”
He added: “We want two front men with one definitely on permanent terms and the other the same or on loan. We get a little closer every day.”
There’s no other business in mind although were a speedy winger to become available that may be of some interest to us.”
