West Ham could yet make a late move for a striker, despite reports earlier this summer suggesting Graham Potter was happy with his attacking options.
Hammers insider ExWHUEmployee has revealed that several forwards have been offered to the club by agents in recent days, with one name under serious consideration being Victor Boniface.

The Nigerian forward is highly rated but comes with major risk due to his history of serious knee injuries.
Meanwhile, West Ham are also reported to be locked in talks over FC Midtjylland striker Franculino Dju. Both the Hammers and Italian side Como have submitted bids in the region of €15m, although the Danish club are holding out for more.
This all comes after the club publicly leaked that Potter had told the board he didn’t require further strikers—yet since then, West Ham have added Callum Wilson and could now return for more firepower before the window shuts.
Potter began this weeks EFL Cup loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers with no recognised strikers in his starting line-up. Niclas Fullkrug and Wilson were introduced late in the game in an effort to save the game but Callum Marshall remained an unused substitute.
