West Ham United could pull off a potential bargain deal with the signing of Hwang Hee-chan, the Telegraph report.
Hwang is available for £10 million this summer from RB Leipzig and it is said that the transfer as a real value for money deal.
West Ham have been linked with Tammy Abraham, but David Moyes may not be able to stretch his budget far enough to land the Chelsea front man.
Instead it seems that Hwang may be the man that West Ham have their eyes on, as they view him as a possible bargain buy.
If West Ham are to buy Hwang they will also have to beat Crystal Palace to the forward, who has struggled since a move to Germany.
The South Korean has failed to score with any regularity at Leipzig, but his previous success at Salzburg seems to have convinced West Ham he could be worth a gamble.
Bringing in a new forward will certainly be a priority for the Hammers.
They only have limited options in the area, with the club failing to land a replacement for Sebastien Haller in January.
Hwang does at least have some high profile admirers, with Erling Haaland among the people to call the West Ham target ‘brilliant’ (Bundesliga official website).
