\n<\/u>As the transfer window rolls around again, West Ham are still stuck looking for a striker. Since David Gold and David Sullivan took control of the club in 2010, they\u2019ve been looking for a goalscorer that\u2019ll propel them up the table.<\/p>\n

Seven years on and they\u2019re still looking, having signed no less than 32 players, many of which have been failures.<\/p>\n

Kelechi Iheanacho and Olivier Giroud have both been linked with the club this summer, as the owners desperately hope to end their run of poor recruitment.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had a look at all 32 forwards signed since Gold and Sullivan and have assessed how they\u2019ve fared.<\/p>\n

Hopes were high for Calleri, who played for Argentina in the 2016 Olympics, but he flattered to deceive in his loan spell at the club. His deal wasn\u2019t made permanent and he\u2019s returned to Deportivo Maldonado.<\/p>\n

Martinez had a good loan spell at Oxford last season and was also prolific for West Ham\u2019s youth teams. He\u2019s highly rated, but is yet to make an appearance for Slaven Bilic\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

Ashley Fletcher<\/h2>\n

Fletcher is another player for the future, but was heavily involved in the first team in his debut season at West Ham. He scored one goal for the club, but looks as if he\u2019d benefit from a spell out on loan.<\/p>\n
