da cassino: West Ham are coming off their most successful season in the Premier League era. Dimitri Payet is one of the league’s best players, and Slaven Bilic has built a solid club around him.
da brdice: West Ham finished in the top seven in the league and had a positive goal difference, two feats that were relatively foreign to the club prior to this season. If they want to continue their momentum, they must focus on finding a right-back and supplementing their attack.
The EUROs are a great place to start.
Several of the club’s potential targets play in Group F, which consists of Portugal, Iceland, Hungary and Austria. These are the FIVE players in the grouping that West Ham should be watching…
Kolbeinn Sigthorsson
If Iceland advance to the knockout stages, it’s likely Sigthorsson will be a primary reason. He can score goals in a hurry (he scores about a goal every two games), which is the type of player West Ham could use.
Balazs Dzsudzsak
The dangerous winger headlines the Hungarian attack. Dzsudzsak loves to take on defenders on the left side, utilising his crafty skills and forward-thinking mentality. West Ham were among the Premier League leaders in goals scored last term, and with another quality attacker like Dzsudzsak, they could replicate that success next season.
Marc Janko
The Austrian striker is another goalscorer who would fit in nicely with West Ham. He finished the club season two goals away from the Austrian Bundesliga’s single-season scoring record, with 41 goals.
Christian Fuchs
The Austrian full-back plays with galvanising passion and a personality unmatched. Fuchs’ defensive stinginess helped Leicester City cap an remarkable season with a Premier League title.
Cedric Soares
Soares’ attacking abilities resemble a midfielder’s skill set. The diminutive, speedy defender could help fill a void for West Ham at the right back position.
