West Ham transfer news: Hammers chase Hull City striker Nikica Jelavic
West Ham United are set to make a move for Hull City forward Nikica Jelavic as they look to solve their striker crisis.
The Hammers are
sweating on the fitness of their stars this summers as Enner Valencia's knee injury has ruled him out for 12 weeks.
Andy Carroll is also a cause for concern having been sidelined for the majority of the summer missing their Europa League qualifiers through injury.
Now Slaven Bilic is looking to address the issue and make a signing before the season opener against Arsenal this weekend.
The Croatian boss is hopeful of tying up a deal for Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez, but he is now thought to be looking at compatriot Jelavic.
The player is believed to be interested in a switch to remain in the top flight of English football.
Hull City were relegated from the Premier League last term on the last day of the season and will now be looking to sell some of their highest earners.
