West Ham will seek to sign a new striker in January.
The London Evening Standard says the Irons will seek cover for Michail Antonio as he recovers from a knee injury.
However, the Hammers are wary of Financial Fair Play and will not seek to splash out big over the New Year.
West Ham boss David Moyes does feel his squad is a striker short.
Moyes has been reluctant to put his faith in either Danny Ings or youngster Divin Mubama, neither of whom have started a Premier League game yet this term.
