West Ham have been tipped to spend big this summer and it seems they mean business as secret talks are held to sign Dominic Solanke.
That’s according to an exciting new West Ham transfer claim overnight three months out from the summer window.
The Hammers have a pretty dreadful record when it comes to signing strikers down the years.
And on the rare occasion the club do manage to get it right, they tend to suffer with injuries or don’t stick around too long.
David Moyes has admitted on several occasions this season he has been searching for a forward.
West Ham striker search continues
However, the West Ham manager thinks that there is a shortage of excellent players.
Therefore, he decided against signing a striker in January or the summer, saying Jarrod Bowen could fill in.
The outcomes have been uneven. Many also believe that West Ham needs a legitimate center forward. especially since, should his illegal betting case be resolved, Lucas Paqueta is expected to move to Manchester City.
It was recently revealed by a reputable journalist that West Ham’s top summer target is Dominic Solanke.

With 16 goals and three assists in 28 games this season, the Bournemouth striker has thrived.
However, his all-around game, strength, speed, and link-up play have all impressed just as much.
West Ham is serious about signing top summer target Solanke, and they are holding private family negotiations to that end.
West Ham and Solanke’s representatives have reportedly already had discussions, according to Football Transfers.
Furthermore, it’s even claimed that manager Moyes discussed Solanke’s move to West Ham with his family.
The 26-year-old’s pay is reportedly going to more than treble with the Hammers, to £115k a week.
Striker ‘open’ to joining Hammers and will cost £45m
According to the report, Solanke is amenable to moving to the London Stadium. He would also cost £45 million, which is the same sum that West Ham spent on Sebastien Haller.
Prior to the January transfer window, Solanke was connected to West Ham. Bill Foley, the owner of Bournemouth, said that if the player wants to move, he could have to sell.
Refreshingly, it appears West Ham is setting up its transfer house well in advance.
since it was revealed this week that Tim Steidten, the technical director, has started preliminary discussions for three lesser-known prospective jewels.
