Despite recently signing Niclas Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund, according to recent reports, West Ham remain interested in bringing in another forward.
The Hammers agreed a deal with Dortmund worth a reported £27.5 million for Fullkrug. The German international is one of eight first-team signings made by the London-based giants.
Even though they have landed Fullkrug, according to HITC, the Hammers are keen to provide the 31-year-old with cover and competition in the form of Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran.
West Ham not given up on Jhon Duran
Duran, 20, has been a long-standing target for Julen Lopetegui but the Hammers have so far failed to reach an agreement with Aston Villa, and the player, who angered fans after he made a West Ham-related gesture on social media, has been forced to continue in the Midlands.
However, irrespective of their failed negotiations with Villa, West Ham have not given up hope of landing Duran.
