It might only be October, but the rumour mill in football never stops for one second, and the West Ham could be about to make some interesting moves in the next transfer window.

Claret and Hugh report that the Irons might bring in both a centre-back and striker in the winter transfer window, with Manuel Pellegrini looking to welcome in players on loan to minimise the financial constraints, and for supporters on social media, the arrival of a new striker got fans speculating.
With only two first-team strikers in the squad in the form of Sebastien Haller and Albian Ajeti, supporters began to theorise who could be willing to come to the east London club on-loan for half the season and which available names would be the best fir for West Ham heading into the final months of this campaign.
Here’s who some West Ham fans suggested as a winter signing for the club on Twitter…
It’s abit unrealistic but jovic if we are in the european places by jan a loan deal might work if he’s still not playing and obviously sure he wouldn’t mind linking up with haller again

Some fans, though, had some not-so-serious suggestions for the position…

An extra striker would be a welcome addition to West Ham this winter if Pellegrini is to push the Irons towards a European spot in the Premier League table come the end of May, with the manager stating in the past he is keen to take the east London club to continental football.
