West Ham fans are furious at reports Slaven Bilic did not want to sign Kelechi Iheanacho from Manchester City.
Slaven Bilic is coming under heavy criticism from the West Ham United fans after reports from ESPN that the Hammers manager pulled out of a deal to sign Kelechi Iheanacho from Manchester City.
The East London club are in search of at least two new strikers with Premier League experience this summer, as co-owner David Gold admitted to talkSPORT last month.

Iheanacho was believed to be a key target and with 12 goals in 46 top flight outings in England, appeared to fit the bill for what West Ham were after.
Yet now it seems Bilic has expressed he is not interested in signing the 20-year-old, which has left the path clear for Leicester City to swoop in and complete a £25m deal.
Meanwhile, the Standard also claims that Everton lead the Hammers in the race to sign Olivier Giroud from Arsenal, while Bleacher Report says a potential move for Javier Hernandez is being delayed by the Bayer Leverkusen forward’s wage demands.
It is therefore easy to see why the London Stadium faithful are so irate with this latest development and have taken to Twitter to vent their anger.
