2. Michail Antonio replacement
Ever since arriving from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2015, Michail Antonio has been the reliable number nine for West Ham scoring 82 goals over nine seasons and played a key role in the Hammers UEFA Conference League triumph in 2023. West Ham have tried bringing in a new striker to partner Antonio however, top signings like Sebastien Haller and Gianluca Scamacca couldn't justify their hefty transfer fee with their performances.
Now, Antonio is 33-years-old and largely struggled for form and fitness last season. Thus, the club needed to find a great replacement for Antonio and by signing Niclas Fullkrug West Ham have strengthened their number nine position.
