Hammers have no interest in 24 goal striker

|

Jack-Marriott-897942West Ham will not be competing with Crystal Palace for £7 million rated hot goals prospect Jack Marriott.

The Irons have been linked with a move for the player but Posh director of football Barry Fry denies any interest from manager David Moyes.

Marriott has grabbed 24 goals in 39 appearances for the Division One side and is attracting interest from a host of clubs – notably Crystal Palace.

Recent reports claimed that the south London club and ourselves are regularly watching the 23 year old and will be in with an offer but Fry – a close friend of David Sullivan and David Gold – denies any interest from the Hammers.

He said: “I have watched the Hammers games against Stoke and West Brom from the director’ box and the team is doing really well under David Moyes.

However, whilst I have a load of interest in Jack, the Hammers do not believe he is what they need at the moment and are concentrating on players with a lot of experience and have been there and done it.”

    Actually Marriot could be a decent shout can def score & is only 23yo has the pace could be one of those gems in lower league. With AC out & Sakho Chic isn’t a lone CF & Ayew isn’t a CF def can’t pkay those 2 together up front learned that twice.
    Arnie & Chic could work well but what if something haooens to Arnie if we keep Sakho we need to play him bc is well rounded CF & has linked up well with Chic & could w Arnie.
    If we sell Sakho we will need an out & our CF to replace & would like to see us go for Smolov I think he could do a good job here. But not sire that will happen.
    Tho not sure we will sell Sakho if we don’t need to put in his 2yr exntension give & play him more
