West Ham United are interested in signing the Norwich City striker Josh Sargent. 

The 25-year-old United States International has shown his quality in the second division of English football regularly, and it will be interesting to see if he is ready to take on a new challenge now. According to Football Insider, West Ham recently sent Scouts to watch the player in action.

It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to follow up on the scouting mission with an official offer to get the deal done. Norwich are struggling in the Championship right now, and the player could look to make the jump to the Premier League. It would be the ideal opportunity for him to test himself at the highest level.

West Ham are in desperate need of a quality striker. Niclas Fullkrug has been underwhelming since joining the club, and it appears that Nuno Espirito Santo does not fancy Callum Wilson. The Hammers will need to invest in another goal scorer when the transfer window opens in January. Signing the United States International could prove to be a wise decision.

He is well settled in English football, even though he has not played in the Premier League recently. He might be able to adapt quickly and make an instant impact in the Premier League. He will be hungry to prove his qualities in the top flight. This could be a great opportunity for him to showcase his worth.

West Ham could use Josh Sargent

Meanwhile, West Ham are fighting for survival and they need to plug the weaknesses in the side. The attacking unit is a major problem for them this season. If they can add goals to the side, they will have a great chance of surviving in the Premier League.

It will be interesting to see if they can agree on a deal with Norwich in the coming days. The Canaries will be thoroughly disappointed if they lose the player in January. He is an important player for them, and he could play a key role in their fight for survival. His exit would leave them short in the attack and it could prove to be costly for them.
