West Ham are preparing for the upcoming transfer window and are actively pursuing a striker to strengthen their squad.
The Hammers are reportedly considering a move for Canadian centre-forward Jonathan David.
According to journalist Graeme Bailey of HITC, West Ham hold a strong interest in David as they seek replacements for Michail Antonio.
The report claims that the striker is attracting interest from a number of other Premier League clubs as well, including Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea.
