Hammers keep focus on two strikers

West Ham are now focused on bringing one of Salomon Rondon or Alexksander Mitrovic to the club this summer despite having not totally given up on Maxi Gomez or  Moussa Marega.

Despite the Gunners having a limited transfer budget manager Unai Emery is keen on the Celta Vigo striker and the Hammers fear if it came to a straight fight Gomez could be persuaded into the Emirates.

However, both Rondon and Mitrovic are clear targets although it is understood that Newcastle are keen to keep the West Brom player.

The Irons hope that with the striker having played for Manuel Pellegrini at Malaga and remain optimistic that with the prospect of London being perhaps more attractive than Tyneside, a deal can be struck.

Yesterday we explained a club insider gave odds of no more than one in ten of signing any of the four at the moment but things can change quickly in the transfer market and certainly no one is throwing in the towel yet of any of the targets on the list.

A well placed Hammers source told Claret andHugh: “It would be fair to say that both players interest us.”
