West Ham United have been linked with a move for Graziano Pelle, who is currently playing in China.

West Ham United fans do not appear to be enthused by the rumours linking them with Graziano Pelle.

Gianluca Di Marzio have suggested that West Ham want to sign Pelle from Chinese side Shandong Luneng.

The Hammers are looking to bring in a new forward, and the Italian is now said to be on David Moyes’ wishlist.

Graziano Pelle of Italy celebrates after scoring the goal during the international friendly match between Italy and France at Stadio San Nicola on September 1, 2016 in Bari, Italy.

Pelle is well known to West Ham fans, following the spell he spent with Southampton earlier in his career.

And while some West Ham fans are eager to see Pelle brought to he London Stadium, others are far less keen.

Pelle has hardly been prolific during his time in China, when he has scored 12 goals in 41 matches.

The 32-year-old was a weapon for Southampton during his spell in the Premier League though.

West Ham’s need to sign a striker has been increased, as they have suffered with injuries to both Marko Arnautovic and Manuel Lanzini in recent weeks.
