West Ham United need to sign a new striker in the summer transfer window.

David Moyes has been forced to rely on the ageing Michail Antonio as his only recognised centre-forward with Jarrod Bowen and Mohamed Kudus tasked with filling in from time to time.

And with the Hammers’ need for a new hitman becoming increasingly more evident with each passing week, according to a recent report from The Sun, the London-based giants have included Brentford’s Ivan Toney on their end-of-season shortlist.

Brentford’s Ivan Toney is a contender to join West Ham.

The Hammers, currently viewed as genuine contenders to sign Toney, are looking to beat the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs to his signature.
