"With the Hammers struggling for goals in the Premier League, Coventry City's in-form striker Ellis Simms has emerged as a key target to lead the line at the London Stadium. According to a recent report from The Telegraph, West Ham have identified Ellis Simms as a primary option to bolster their attacking ranks this winter. While the club has also monitored Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen, the financial hurdles for the Norwegian are significant."
"A move to West Ham would offer Simms a chance at redemption in the top flight following a frustrating spell at Everton. Despite an incredible youth record, scoring 41 goals in just 45 matches for the Toffees' U18s, Simms could not establish himself as a first teamer at Goodison Park. He managed just 12 senior appearances for Everton, with his solitary goal being a memorable late equaliser against Chelsea in March 2023."
West Ham plan a January approach for Coventry striker Ellis Simms to strengthen a misfiring attack under Nuno Espirito Santo. The club also monitored Wolves' Jorgen Strand Larsen, but his high valuation and Wolves' rejection of a £55m Newcastle bid make him costly. Simms, 24, is viewed as a more affordable alternative, though Coventry are chasing automatic promotion and are likely to resist offers. Simms scored prolifically at Everton U18 level but managed only 12 senior Everton appearances and one goal. He moved to Coventry in 2023 for up to £8m and has established himself in the Championship.
