West Ham is in search of a striker, much like Arsenal and several other Premier League clubs.
The Hammers have been tracking some targets who have also appeared on Arsenal’s shopping list.
Dominic Solanke is on the shopping lists of both clubs and now, West Ham is also following a new striker who has been on Arsenal’s radar.
A report from Football Insider claims that West Ham is now keen on Santiago Gimenez, as he cannot stop scoring for Feyenoord.
The Mexican is one of the finest strikers outside Europe’s top five leagues, and he is expected to move to a bigger club at the end of this campaign.
Arsenal is interested in acquiring his signature, although they haven’t yet decided if he is the striker their team needs at the moment.
If Arsenal do make a move for Gimenez then you have to think they will see off West Ham, though as lot will come down to which club offers the best package.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Gimenez has done well at Feyenoord, but he is probably not at a level to be our first-choice striker because playing in a top Premier League club is a different level.

Dismissing the Dutch league as a reason for not signing Gimenez, notwithstanding a number of EPL clubs are tracking him? Look back at the players in the past, who came from there, either directly or via othe leagues. One Dennis Bergkamp comes to mind, supposedly a failure in Italy.
Another player who fits the bill
Gimenez has shown he can FINISH chances for several years now.
The amount of chances we create, we lack a reliable finisher, that’s exactly what Gimenez is.
Different league yes, but it doesn’t mean he will lose his ability to finish.
Ask yourself, is Gimenez a more reliable finisher than Jesus or Nketiah? If so then he should be considered.
