Striker looks realistic Hammers target
West Ham have been linked with a move for Coventry City’s Viktor Gyokeres – one of the few players mentioned as a possible summer arrival – who seems a realistic target. Here, occasional CandH blogger The Cat, gives his view of the player.

Having watched Gyokeres a fair bit last season, I think that he would be a good fit for us, not simply as an Antonio clone but a striker with ability, intelligence, pace and with a real hunger and desire.
Gyokores has great work ethic
Scamacca may have bundles of talent but I don’t believe that he has shown the desire and work ethic required of any Premier League striker no matter the club. Gyokeres has it by the bucket load and would be a great purchase in my opinion. Antonio has seemed to want out for some time and I’m not sure exactly where he would go after leaving us.
I believe his reasons for wanting to leave have a fair bit to do with his realisation that his status as the number one striker at this club,has come to an end at 33 years old and I guess that he wants to be the master of his own destiny.
