According to The Telegraph, West Ham have identified Coventry City striker Ellis Simms as a primary option to bolster their attack this winter. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo is reportedly pushing for the signing of the 24-year-old, who is considered a more attainable alternative after the club also monitored Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen. West Ham's need for a striker is also influenced by Niclas Fullkrug's expected departure to AC Milan. However, Coventry City are leading the Championship while chasing automatic promotion and are expected to resist any offers for their player.
