West Ham to Make 2nd Attempt to Sign Russian Hotshot Striker in Bid to Smooth Things Over With Fans

West Ham are eyeing a move for Russia and Krasnodar striker Fyodor Smolov in the hopes of patching things up with disgruntled supporters.

The Hammers and their fans have been at odds over certain policies as of late and tensions boiled over during their 3-0 loss to Burnley earlier this month, with the home support turning on the board and owners in massive protest.

Co-chairman David Sullivan, who has since taken a back seat in transfer affairs will still attempt to placate fans with a move for the Russia captain, according to the Daily Mail.
