West Ham have made a new striker their priority for the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

Nuno Espirito Santo is ready to sell several players<\/a> to make it happen, with James Ward-Prowse<\/a> and Niclas Fullkrug two who could move on.<\/p>\n

Fullkrug has made it no secret that he wants to leave<\/a>, with Bundesliga clubs interested already.<\/p>\n

West Ham are already looking at Union Saint-Gilloise striker Promise David<\/a> to replace him, but a twist has been revealed hours before kick-off against Manchester United at Old Trafford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rob Dorsett shared a strong interest in David<\/a> at the London Stadium, with Wolfsburg still looking at a deal for Fullkrug<\/a> to make any deal easier.<\/p>\n

The Sky Sports journalist did, however, say that interest from Eintracht Frankfurt has faded away ahead of the winter market opening, in a new twist.<\/p>\n

Dorsett wrote: \u201cWest Ham interested in a possible deal for striker Promise David at Belgian side Union SG. <\/p>\n

\u201cNine goals for club and country this season, he is one of several options. <\/p>\n

\u201cStriker is number one priority in January, with Fullkrug expected to leave, but Frankfurt interest in him has waned. Wolfsburg still keen.\u201c<\/p>\n

How has Promise David performed this season?<\/p>\n

David has made 14 appearances in the Belgian Pro League, eight of those starts, and has scored six times, underperforming his expected goals total.<\/p>\n

Also featuring five times in the Champions League<\/a> for the minnows, the Canadian international has found the back of the net twice, something he will never forget.<\/p>\n

2024\/25 was his best season, though, with David scoring 22 times and adding four assists in an unforgettable year for Union SG.<\/p>\n

Nuno may have gotten the best out of Callum Wilson<\/a>, but he can\u2019t play every week given his dreadful injury record.<\/p>\n

With Fullkrug on the way out, David could be the perfect replacement to fire West Ham<\/a> to safety in the Premier League in 2026.<\/p>\n

Leeds\u2019 unexpected win over Chelsea on Wednesday has dumped the Irons back into the bottom three, but a win at Old Trafford could change everything.<\/p>\n
