West Ham United are looking to bring in a new striker this month after they offloaded Sebastien Haller, and the Hammers have reportedly earmarked Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud as a potential option.
The Hammers allowed Haller to join Dutch giants Ajax for a fee of €22.5m (£20.3m) on Friday. He will be eligible to face against PSV Eindhoven.
Haller’s departure has freed up space for a new arrival, and West Ham are exploring options to replace him in their front line.
The Hammers officials are looking into the financial aspect of the deal to sign Giroud, but they have other targets as well.
