Overview
- GiveMeSport, via Yahoo Sports, reports board‑level discussions between Nuno Espirito Santo and chairman David Sullivan, with a bid expected to follow early in the window.
- Norwich are understood to be open to selling Sargent for around £17.5m, aligning with West Ham’s budget for a centre-forward.
- The pursuit follows growing expectation that Niclas Fullkrug will depart, leaving Callum Wilson as the only recognised senior striker.
- Sargent fits West Ham’s stated profile of a physically strong forward with experience in English football, and he has 55 goals in 154 Norwich appearances, including seven this season.
- Football Insider adds that West Ham are working on striker options within tight finances and have tracked alternative targets such as Troy Parrott.
