West Ham loom in on Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jhon Duran and Steven Bergwijn

Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin

West Ham's seemingly endless quest for a striker to replace Michail Antonio has washed back up on Everton's shores.

The Irons were sniffing around Dominic Calvert-Lewin a couple of seasons ago as they hunted for a hitman who could take the pressure off Antonio and give him some competition in the number nine role.

However, that chase went cold and West Ham ended up with Sebastien Haller and then Gianluca Scamacca, who both failed to establish themselves and were sent packing.

Antonio is now 34 and can't be expected to plough a lonely furrow up front for Julen Lopetegui's new-look side for another entire season, so Calvert-Lewin could be an option, especially with his contract coming to an end in 2025.

Calvert-Lewin has struggled with injury and form over the past couple of seasons, which would make him the perfect fit for West Ham, who are no strangers to buying strikers on a downward curve.

However, Newcastle are also still interested in the striker despite talks with him breaking down in June.

Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran, who has struggled for regular game time at Villa Park, is also on West Ham's radar but recent interest from AC Milan could see him poached by the Italian giants.

While former Tottenham winger and Dutch international Steven Bergwijn is also reportedly a target, he could be tempted to take the Saudi money instead.

West Ham have already made three signings this summer with Max Kilman joining from Wolves, Luis Guilherme from Palmeiras and keeper Wes Foderingham on a free transfer.
