According to Daily Star, West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini wants to sign one more striker after landing Frenchman Sebastian Haller for £45 million, and has identified Fernando Llorente as a target. The 34-year-old is a free agent after his £100,000-a-week Tottenham Hotspur contract expired on June 30. The former Juventus hitman scored 13 goals in 66 games for Spurs during his two-season stay, and could help keep Haller on his toes if snapped up. Llorente brings a lot of experience and quality to the table and can help West Ham’s club-record signing improve.
The Hammers need all the firepower they can lay their hands on this summer as they look to reach Europe at the end of next season, and the former Tottenham striker can be a welcome addition.
