Three Ice Cool Finishers Who Could Save West Ham’s Season

pochettino-and-bilic

West Ham United have had a topsy-turvy start to the 2016-17 Premier League campaign. Slaven Bilic’s men struggled to get going in the early parts of the season and hence found themselves in the relegation zone and it looked like they were going to be embroiled in the battle to survive the drop. However, a recent upturn of form has seen the Hammers move away from the bottom three, and are now seated in the 13th position of the Premier League table.

However, that isn’t what they would have hoped or envisioned before the start of the season, given their excellent campaign last term. The major issue for the Londoners has been a lack of goals, with none of their strikers delivering when needed. And it is one area where Bilic will be definitely looking to improve in the January window.

Here we give you three strikers who could help the Hammers recover and help them move into the top half of the table:

Jermain Defoe

The former Tottenham striker has been in hot form for relegation battlers Sunderland this term. Defoe at 34, is still going strong and remains one of the best strikers in the Premier League.

Having made his return to the Premier League last term, he helped Sunderland survive the drop single-handedly and has continued in the same vein of form this year as well. The Englishman has scored 11 times already this term, in 20 games and has been the Black Cats’ best player so far.

A proven goalscorer with loads of experience in the English top-flight and in great form right now, Defoe could go a long way in helping West Ham bounce back.
