West Ham United are reportedly interested in a move for another Bundesliga striker to help strengthen their attack after a difficult spell of injuries.

West Ham are poised to sign Finland international Eva Nystrom. The 25-year-old hopes to complete her move to London next week, ending a four-year stay at Swedish club Hammarby. The centre-back would become West Ham's first signing of the January transfer window and fills a position that was a priority for manager Rehanne Skinner.

West Ham have announced that Graham Potter will be their new head coach after the club sacked former manager Julen Lopetegui. Potter has agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal and will take charge of the team for the first time during Friday’s FA Cup third round fixture at Aston Villa.

There will be no more bubbles blown for Julen Lopetegui at West Ham, who fired the Spanish coach on Wednesday and announced Graham Potter as his replacement. Potter has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract and was unveiled as the club’s new manager at a press conference on Thursday.

West Ham United could make a move for Lille star Angel Gomes in the January transfer window, according to reports - with a cash offer potentially trumping any other interested parties in the winter window.

West Ham have sacked manager Julen Lopetegui after just six months in charge. Former Wolves boss Lopetegui, 58, was appointed in May following the departure of David Moyes but officially took charge on 1 July. The Hammers won just six Premier League games during the Spaniard's tenure.
