West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan has revealed that the club are close to securing a deal for a top quality striker in the coming days.
With the move to the Olympic Stadium on the horizon, the Hammers have been keen to sign a quality striker this summer, but have so far failed in their attempts to find one.
They failed with a bid for Michy Batshuayi, who eventually joined Chelsea, and their attempts to sign Carlos Bacca are yet to yield any result despite the club agreeing a fee with AC Milan.
However, Sullivan confirmed that the east Londoners are close to agreeing a deal that would see a top forward join the club in the coming days, and further added that they are also in talks with a Premier League outfit to sign one more striker.
The West Ham co-chairman wrote in his column for the club’s official website: “We are very close to bringing in a very promising striker who has scored goals regularly in his career in competitive leagues.

“He will need time to settle, like every new player, but we are confident he will add a lot to the squad.
“We are also talking to another Premier League club about a top-class international forward, but the discussions over financial terms still have some way to go.”
West Ham suffered a 2-1 defeat at NK Domzale in the first leg of their third Europa League qualifying round tie last night.
