The stage is set for West Ham to make a summer bid for Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony, after no move was made for the striker from any Russian clubs before the transfer window closed last night. Zenit St Petersburg, CSKA Moscow and Anzhi Makhachkala were all reportedly interested, but none of the clubs made an offer for the Ivory Coast international and Vitesee interim director Erwin Kasakowski confirmed last night to Dutch newspaper AD that "no club made an offer, so Bony will finish the season at Vitesse."
Should the Hammers make a play for the 24 year old in the summer, they will face stiff competition; with Italian sides Inter Milan and Fiorentina, and Premier League rivals Liverpool all reportedly interested in the pacy frontman. We certainly need a striker, with three of our current senior strikers all on loan deals which expire at the end of the season, and this lad looks like he'd fit the bill.
