West Ham Transfers: 5 Deadline Day Strikers Hammers Could Sign

3. Demba Ba (Chelsea)

Demba Ba is struggling to even make the bench at Chelsea, so old club West Ham could be a decent move for both sides. Ba proved at Newcastle United he could get the goals in, and West Ham will be keenly aware of the value he represents. All talk of the players dodgy knees and other injury issues seems ancient history €“ after leaving West Ham last time around, Ba proved to be one of the best strikers in the Premier League. Sam Allardyce is keen on bringing Ba back, according to the Daily Express. However, Chelsea may not want to sell despite rarely playing the Senegalese striker €“ they have already rebuffed Sam's earlier efforts, after all. Perhaps a loan deal could be a good solution? Ba is surely getting frustrated at not even making Mourinho's bench and at the Hammers he could expect to start every game if fit.
