Crystal Palace & West Ham Set for January Tug of War Over Bayern Munich Striker Sandro Wagner

Premier League strugglers West Ham and Crystal Palace are both eyeing a move for Bayern Munich striker Sandro Wagner ahead of the January transfer window.

The 30-year-old retired from international football earlier this year after he was overlooked for Joachim Löw's World Cup squad, just a few months after moving to his childhood club Bayern Munich from domestic rivals TSG Hoffenheim.

Wagner has made 26 appearances for Bayern Munich since returning to the club in January, ten years after he first left. During that time, the veteran target man has scored ten goals and claimed two assists as their second choice striker.
