West Ham United are expected to make additions in the January transfer window.

Slaven Bilic has suggested that West Ham United are on the look out for two new players in the January transfer window.

West Ham are looking to invest in the coming weeks, as Bilic wants to improve the options in his squad.

The Croatian has confirmed that he has held discussions with West Ham’s board, as he wants to add to his options in two positions.

West Ham are believed to be hunting another striker, but their attempts to sign a new front man have not worked out so far.

West Ham have made bids for both Sunderland’s Jermain Defoe and Brentford’s Scott Hogan, but their offers have been rejected.

The Hammers are expected to make another bid for Defoe in the near future, but Sunderland are believed not to want to sell (The Sun).

West Ham could also look to strengthen their back line in January, as Bilic’s defensive options have been short so far this season.

The Hammers are currently in 13th place in the Premier League table, with their next match coming against Manchester City in the FA Cup.
