West Ham boss David Moyes admits he may play Jarrod Bowen as striker all season.
Bowen is West Ham's top scorer this season with 10 goals.
"I do see it as an option going forward," Moyes said of Bowen.
"It's been difficult for lots of clubs to buy centre-forwards for the right price and there's not many on the market.
"I think Jarrod has been able to step in while Michail [Antonio] has been injured. He's scored goals and played very well up front.
"There's a bit of flexibility with Jarrod at the moment. I think, the way wide players play now, more goals are expected of them. I think Jarrod can do both though."
