Report: Hammers interested in Palace striker

West Ham’s increasingly desperate striker has reportedly led them to Selhurst Park and Christian Benteke.

The Sun says we are ready to make a move but it’s a move that has to be doubtful with the manager looking for youthful and energetic front me..

However, if the Sun report is to be believed there remains a chance that David Moyes may try to complete a deal before the window closes.

At 31 years old, he barely fits the Moyes model for young and energetic player whilst his goals record last season of 10 in 34 games left a lot to be desired.

At much the same age as Mikey Antonio this doesn’t look like forward thinking  if the reports turns out to be true.

And we would be very surprised were that to turn out to be the case with such a well travelled journeyman.

Benteke’s contract runs out next June having agreed a new contract last year.
