West Ham will make a January move for Sassuolo striker Gregoire Defrel, as Slaven Bilic attempts to beef up his shot shy attack, according to reports on Tuesday.
The Hammers have endured a difficult campaign so far, but most of their problems are being blamed on a number of key injuries, with their strikeforce being affected the most.
And with summer signing Simone Zaza failing to hit the heights, Bilic’s hunt for a new centre forward has seen him linked with the French-born Serie A hitman, Defrel.
The Daily Express claims that providing he does not lose West Ham’s next two home games against Burnley and Hull, Bilic looks set to survive as manager and has already earmarked Defrel as a major target.
