The club signed Andy Carroll earlier in the window but he will miss the start of the campaign with a heel injury.
On top of that the club lost the likes of Carlton Cole, Maraoune Chamakh and Wellington this summer so another means for grabbing goals this summer.
So here are five players who could be perfect for West Ham but will we sign any of them:
Gary Hooper: An Essex lad and former Tottenham trainee he would certainly bring goals to the table and that pace the club needs up top.
He is also likely to be on reasonable wages with the only real down-side likely to be his price-tag.
John Guidetti; Available on loan and a player who guarantees goals.
Demba Ba; The Hammers have been linked with a move for their former striker all summer as he struggles to make an impact at Chelsea.
Peter Odemwingie, if West Ham wanted him they could definitely get him.
Salamon Kalou, high on the list at reasonable price but high wages could be a problem
Between cole and chamkh how many goals? a great loss not
wellington never given a shot
