The Hammers have set their sights on Ewood Park forward Rudy Gestede, who is valued at £7m by this source, the Benin international having netted 31 goals in the past two seasons at the Championship outfit.
A move for Gestede may prove easier to complete than the east London side’s apparent push to bring in £15m rated Old Trafford star Javier Hernandez.
The Mexican international is currently on loan at Real Madrid and having recently hit a good run of form the 26 year old may hope to secure a permanent move to the Bernabeu.
Even if Chicharito fails to make his temporary move to the Spanish giants a permanent one it’s likely he would punt for a move to a side that can offer Champions League action and West Ham will struggle to convince the Man United man to join them this summer.
