Hammers ready for striker action

West Ham will continue to concentrate  on their major striker targets before making a £15 million move for Burnley’s Andre Gray.

The club has admitted the 26 year old is a target but believe they have more difficult negotiations on hand before offering Gray the terms he requires.

Olivier Giroud, Javier Hernandez, Kelechi Iheanacho and Michy Batshuayi remain at the top of their target list but Gray is a player they admire and would be ready to meet Burnley’s £15 million valuation.

However, with Alexandre Lacazette now firmly on his way to Arsenal with a medical scheduled for today, the Irons are waiting to make serious moves in Giroud’s direction.

Iheanacho is also still bang on top of he wanted list as Slaven Bilic pursues hopes of bringing in three top front men.

Gray reportedly wants around £70k a week after failing to agree terms with Burnley who have a top pay level of around £35k a week.
