Exclusive: West Ham set sights on three striker deals after Jhon Duran offer
Emmanuel Latte Lath, Evan Ferguson and Yuri Alberto are among the striker targets at injury-hit West Ham, sources have told Football Insider.
As revealed by Football Insider on Monday (13 January) the Irons have had a £50million bid for Aston Villa star Jhon Duran rejected.
Duran remains a top target but the London club are assessing potential alternatives as the 3 February transfer deadline approaches.
West Ham are desperate to add striking reinforcements this month after injuries to Michail Antonio, Jarrad Bowen and now Niclas Fullkrug.
Danny Ings is currently the only fit forward option at the London Stadium after Fullkrug suffered a serious muscle injury in the FA Cup tie against Villa last week (10 January).
Duran has been made a top target for West Ham – who also approached Villa for the Colombia international in the summer window.
West Ham target Latte Lath, Ferguson and Alberto this month
He signed a new deal with the Midlands giants in October and is now under contract until June 2030.
Middlesbrough star Latte Lath, 26, has hit 10 goals in 28 appearances for Michael Carrick’s side this term.
Football Insider revealed on 7 January that the Ivory Coast international will cost £15million this month.
Meanwhile, 20-year-old Republic of Ireland international Ferguson is struggling for game time at Brighton with Fabian Hurzeler preferring to use Danny Welbeck, Georginio Rutter and Joao Pedro.
Brazil international Alberto, 23, is a long-term West Ham target and scored 31 goals in 57 games for Corinthians last year (2024).
