"According to GiveMeSport (via West Ham Zone), West Ham are keen on a January move for Sargent, whom Norwich are prepared to sell for a fee in the region of 17.5m. The Hammers want to sign a striker who is physical and has experience of English football, and the USA international would fit those criteria. Sargent, who joined Norwich from Werder Bremen in 2021, has a relatively good record at Carrow Road, with 55 goals in 154 appearances across all competitions."
"Is Josh Sargent the answer to West Ham's striker woes? Sargent would no doubt welcome a return to the Premier League, where he has experience with Norwich. However, he did not have the best record, which could be a concern for West Ham, who really need to finally find the solution in attack. It remains to be seen who West Ham go for, but there will undoubtedly be a sense of desperation in their pursuit which they cannot afford, given their struggles in recent years."
West Ham intend to sign a striker in January as Niclas Fullkrug is almost certain to leave the London Stadium. Fullkrug's expected exit would leave Callum Wilson as the only recognised striker in the squad, reinforcing a long-standing need to resolve number nine issues. Norwich striker Josh Sargent is a reported target, with Norwich willing to sell for about 17.5m. Sargent joined Norwich from Werder Bremen in 2021 and has 55 goals in 154 appearances, scoring seven this season. Sargent offers physicality and English football experience, though his past Premier League record raises concern for West Ham.
