Alan Smith has suggested on SkySports.com that Sebastien Haller can transform West Ham United.

West Ham signed Haller from German club Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer transfer window for a fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £45 million.

Former Arsenal and Leicester striker Smith believes that the 25-year-old could transfer for the Hammers this season.

Smith wrote on Skysports.com: “With Marko Arnautovic and Lucas Perez leaving, Sebastien Haller is the one and if he shows the form he did in Germany, I think he will transform the side.”
