Graham Potter is in desperate need of a new striker at West Ham United.
Danny Ings was released by the Hammers, and Michail Antonio could also leave the London Stadium.
Meanwhile, Niclas Füllkrug has failed to meet expectations since signing from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
Daniel Cummings is set to arrive from Celtic, but he’s only 18 years old and shouldn’t be expected to lead the line for Potter straightaway.
Below, West Ham Zone explores three strikers that Potter might want to consider signing this summer.

Jonathan David
West Ham fans are likely sick of being linked with Jonathan David and nothing ever coming of it.
The 25-year-old’s wage demands have reportedly prevented him from leaving Lille for any top side. However, with his contract in France set to expire on 30 June, David will be available on a free transfer.
Therefore, this could encourage West Ham to meet the striker’s demands, as they won’t need to pay a fee. David has hit at least 25 goals in each of his last three seasons at Lille, and these figures are worth a six-figure weekly wage.
It would certainly be a marquee signing for Potter if the Hammers can agree a deal.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin
This would be a risky signing given his injury record, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin has proven he can be a goal threat when he remains fit.
The former England striker is playing ‘hard to get’ in contract negotiations with Everton and will also be a free agent when his contract expires on 30 June. He’s still only 28 years old.
Potter is a huge fan and is ready to offer Calvert-Lewin a bumper contract if he decides to leave Everton.

Timothy Weah
The son of Ballon d’Or winner George Weah, Timothy, currently plays for Juventus.
The 25-year-old recently rejected a move to Nottingham Forest, which has alerted other Premier League teams to his availability.

Weah’s stats (2024/25)
Weah has 44 caps for the United States, and while he has been playing out wide in Italy, he could rediscover his best form up front at the London Stadium.
