West Ham United are considering a move for Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose when the transfer window swings back open.
The Hammers wanted to add a goalscorer to their ranks last summer and initially zeroed in on AC Milan's Carlos Bacca. However, the Colombia international would not join Slaven Bilic's men and instead West Ham signed Simone Zaza on loan from Juventus.
Zaza flopped at the London Stadium though and his loan with West Ham was terminated in the January transfer window.
Now West Ham are hoping to get it right on the striker front this coming summer and, according to Italian outlet Calcio Mercato, Willian Jose is firmly in their sights.
The Brazilian currently plies his trade in La Liga with Real Sociedad.
