West Ham are believed to be working on a deal to sign former Southampton striker Graziano Pelle in January.
The Italian is currently plying his trade in the Chinese Super League for Shandong Luneng, for whom he has scored 28 goals since arriving at the club two years ago.
He could be set for a return to the Premier League though, with the 33-year-old linked with a move to Manuel Pellegrini's ever improving West Ham. Italian publication Tuttomercato claim that the Hammers are keen to bring Pelle back to England, but face competition from Turkish giants Galatasaray to secure his services.
