Wissam Ben Yedder

One of, if not the, lowest profile players on this list, but if you’ve paid attention to French football in the past few years you’d know that Ben Yedder has been a reliable attacking force for Toulouse without that much going on behind him. He is considered to be a very natural finisher and would offer something very different to Carroll. Many reports from the weekend have stated West Ham have had a bid accepted for the striker, but are trying to avoid the media scrum that has amassed around their move for Carlos Bacca.

ExWhuEmployee has also repeatedly stated our interest and refused to deny a bid had been accepted for him in his latest Q&A. Given that he is reportedly available for around £10m I think we can expect some movement in the coming weeks regarding his destination for the season ahead.
