West Ham identify three key targets they wish to sign this year<\/p>\n

An insight into West Ham\u2019s summer transfer plans has been provided recently.<\/p>\n

As per Goal<\/a> citing Fichajes, West Ham have picked out three key targets they wish to bring to the London Stadium come the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n

These players are named as Sven Botman, Pervis Estupinan and Robin Le Normand.<\/p>\n

Both Botman and Normand are natural central defenders, suggesting the Hammers are keen to strength at the back, which makes sense given their lack of centre-back options right now.<\/p>\n

As for Estupinan, he is a left-back currently plying his trade in La Liga with Villarreal.<\/p>\n

West Ham fail to sign anyone in January<\/h2>\n

It is somewhat surprising that none of the players listed are centre-forwards, given West Ham currently only have one natural striker on their books.<\/p>\n

That man is Michail Antonio, who has himself recently spoken out about West Ham bringing in a second striker:<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople do not understand when I say \u2018I want someone to cover for me, I want a striker to come in\u2019 because I am not just thinking about myself I am thinking about the team and we want the team to finish as high as possible\u2019, Antonio said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe higher the team finishes the better it is for me and the team so to have that cover and not just the cover I want someone to push me, I don\u2019t want someone to be there just for when I cannot play I want someone to push me to make me be better and that is the reason why I want someone in to help me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, West Ham are set to spend the remainder of 2021\/22 with just one striker. Could this cost them a European place?<\/p>\n

The Hammers are currently 4th<\/sup> in the Premier League but the three sides below them all have games in hand.<\/p>\n
