Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth has dropped a major update on West Ham United's plans for the rest of the January transfer window.

What's the story?

Speaking on The Transfer Show on Sky Sports, Sheth revealed that the Hammers are "still" keen on bringing in a new centre-forward as they look to provide Michail Antonio with some vital striking competition.

He said: "David Moyes is still looking for a striker to strengthen his West Ham United squad this month, but he won’t take any risks in the market."

Fans will be buzzing

While Antonio has certainly led the line well for the Hammers this season - he's scored eight goals and provided another six assists in just 21 Premier League games - he could certainly do with being given some help up front.

That's something which former Leeds man Noel Whelan has suggested Moyes' side should be targeting this month. He said: "You can’t have enough strikers. When you look at the top sides and where where you want to be year in, year out in the Premier League, you’ve got to have cover.

"You’ve got to have options. It’s no different to Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool. You’ve got to have options in these positions. I think it will benefit, Michail Antonio. Yes, I know he’s going to be up for the fight to keep his place but it becomes healthy competition. Sometimes you’re not going to be able to play the same as you did the week before when you’re on a good run."

Those sentiments were echoed by Paddy Kenny, who insisted: "You can’t rely on one man to score all of your goals. Antonio is great but he’s not going to score every week. Sometimes that pressure of scoring goals can almost be a burden. It wouldn’t surprise me if West Ham went and got a player to come in and support him."

If the Hammers are intent on making a push for a Champions League place for next season, then bringing in someone who can share that goal-scoring burden with Antonio could prove to be crucial, and be the real difference-maker.

The news that Moyes is "still" looking for a new centre-forward is sure to have West Ham fans buzzing.
