Here’s a round-up of the latest transfer news surrounding West Ham United.
Last week we reported on West Ham’s links to M’Bala Nzola, Olivier Giroud and Moussa Dembele among others following the departures of striker Sebastien Haller and midfielder Robert Snodgrass.
Here’s an update of transfer news and gossip from the West Ham camp.
West Ham transfer update – possible signings
Eddie Nketiah
West Ham are reportedly keen on luring Arsenal youngster Eddie Nketiah to east London as a replacement for Haller, according to the London Evening Standard.
The Ivorian’s departure leaves the Hammers short of forwards, with injury-troubled Michail Antonio the only recognised senior striker.
However, journalist Fabrizio Romano has indicated Arsenal are unlikely to sanction any move for Nketiah, at least in the current transfer window:

Josh King
The Hammers are also keen on Bournemouth’s £15 million-rated Norwegian forward Josh King, according to the Sun.
The Irons face competition from West Brom and Newcastle for his signature.
The report suggests West Ham are considering their options but feel King’s asking price is £2 million too much. King did his chances of a move no harm by bagging a brace during Bournemouth’s 4-1 FA Cup win against Oldham Athletic on Saturday.

Krzysztof Piatek
West Ham have emerged as contenders for Hertha Berlin striker Krzysztof Piatek.
The Sun reports the Irons are desperate to replace Haller as soon as possible and feel the former Milan forward is the man.
The Bundesliga outfit are thought to be open to Piatek leaving on loan with an option to buy outright.
The Poland international joined Hertha from AC Milan in January last year.

Felipe Anderson
With West Ham lacking dynamic attacking players it has been reported they are set to recall Felipe Anderson from his loan spell at Porto.
However, TeamTalk suggests Everton could be tempted to sign the Brazilian instead.
Anderson has made only five appearances in all competitions for the Portuguese club during his loan spell.

Boulaye Dia
Reims striker Boulaye Dia is a target for West Ham, according to the London Evening Standard.
The versatile Senegal forward, who is rated at £13 million, can also play as a winger. This would make Dia an asset, especially if they are to rely on Michail Antonio up front.
Dia has been involved in 27 goals for Reims in all competitions (24 goals and three assists).

Mariano Diaz
The Daily Mail insists Real Madrid striker Mariano Diaz could be heading to West Ham as he wants to play in London.
Diaz has struggled for game time at Los Blancos this season.
The Dominican Republic international favours a loan move, which may be attractive to the Hammers despite offloading Haller for £20.2 million.
Diaz enjoyed a fine time on his previous loan departure from Madrid. He scored 21 goals and provided six assists at Lyon.

Ismaila Sarr
West Ham have been linked with a £30 million move for Watford’s Ismaila Sarr, according to the Sun.
The Senegal forward has been linked with Liverpool and Manchester United too but could now make his way to east London.
Crystal Palace are also said to be keen on Sarr and have been unsuccessful with a £25 million bid.

Patson Daka
The Mirror reports West Ham have offered £25 million for Salzburg forward Patson Daka.
The striker, who is looking to emulate Liverpool’s Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah by moving to the Premier League, has also been linked with the Reds.
However, Daka’s agent is former Hammers forward Frederic Kanoute, which could play an integral role in Daka’s destination.
