Hammers focused on striker duo

West Ham are refusing to give up on either of their two striker targets – Maxi Gomez and Salamon Rondon.

Despite Gomez currently preferring to remain in Spain his options are limited and that is giving the Irons cause to believe they can persuade him into the London Stadium.

There is always the chance that a bid could emerge from a top La Liga outfit despite strong speculation that Barcelona were keen a couple of weeks back obviously being agent talk.

The Hammers are his only show in town and with Celta Vigo keen to cash in, the pressure will come on the striker to make a decision as Mario Husillos continues to negotiate.

Meanwhile, Rondon remains a target and the Director of Football is likely to go back with an increased bid for the West Brom striker.

A top Hammers source to CandH by email: “It’s early days in the window – we shall see what emerges over the next couple of weeks but we have made an offer as revealed and remain interested.”
