West Ham have one of the best attack in the Premier League. Julen Lopetegui's side have signed Cryscencio Summerville and Niclas Fullkrug this summer and already have star forwards like Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Paqueta in the squad.

Thus, one of Michail Antonio and Danny Ings is expected to leave West Ham this summer. Recently, it was reported that Ings can leave the Hammers in this window as the striker has struggled at West Ham scoring only four goals in 52 appearances for the Hammers. Also, West Ham may look to bring in a young striker as well given new signing Fullkrug is 32 years old.

West Ham turn their attention towards former Chelsea forward

Now according to Claret and Hugh, West Ham have set their sights on former Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham. The 26-year-old left Chelsea to join Roma in 2021 and scored 27 goals in his debut season as Roma became UEFA Conference League Champions in 2022. However, in the last two seasons, Abraham has missed a lot of matches due to injuries which has led Roma to bring in La Liga top scorer Artem Dovbyk as the new striker ahead of the next season.

Hence, Abraham is also said to be keen on a transfer move this summer and the English forward could return to the Premier League. West Ham want a young striker with great pace and physicality in their squad. Also, Abraham is a proven performer in the Premier League and at the age of 26 would be a great signing for the Hammers.

Signing Abraham will further bolster West Ham's squad depth. It remains to be seen if West Ham sign Abraham this summer.
