West Ham Eye Christian Kouame Signing to Double Up With Ambitious Edin Džeko Swoop

West Ham are looking to sign Edin Du017eeko and Christian Kouame this summer in a bid to provide Manuel Pellegrini with the firepower necessary to mount an assault on the Premier League top six.

The Hammers spent vast sums last summer to acquire Felipe Anderson and Andriy Yarmolenko, among others, but have still been left frustrated in their pursuit of breaking up the hegemonic power of England's six major clubs.

Question marks surround Pellegrini's current striker options, with the permanently injured Andy Carroll out of contract in the summer and the continued uncertainty around Marko Arnautovic, who tried to force through a move to China in January.
