Hammers refuse to rule out top striker
The Hammers are insisting they have not closed the door on a possible move but insist that others are in the frame.
A club source told us late last night: “There’s been a lot of speculation about him and the club but we are linked with an awful lot players. That’s because we keep an eye on everybody.
It would be wrong to rule him out. He’s an England centre forward and if he is available in January he would obviously be one on our list.
Former Hammer and pundit Ian Wright feels certain the striker will be on his way in January commenting in the media: “When you look at it (Coutinho, Firmino and Mane’s globetrotting), if Daniel Sturridge – who has just scored for England and is buzzing – can’t get in the team when those lads have done so many miles, he’s got to start looking at what’s going on for himself in January.”
Sturridge is priced at around £21 million by the authoriative website tranafermarkt.com
