West Ham Transfers: 5 Strikers To Improve Goal Return

2. Vedad Ibiševi‡ (VfB Stuttgart)

Of course, better value for money can often be found in other leagues, so it seems that it might be worth West Ham gambling in order to find it. The Bundesliga is often compared to the Premier League in terms of its style of play €“ so it€™s not a bad place to look. VfB Stuttgart€™s Vedad Ibisevic offers a lot of the qualities that Sam Allardyce will be looking for in a new striker. One of those is experience and Ibisevic certainly offers that at 29 years old, and over 200 league appearances over the course of his career; he has also made over 50 appearances for his country Bosnia and Herzegovina, scoring 20 goals €“ which is a clear indication of this ability. As hinted, the player is also a proven goalscorer with 15 coming in the league last season; he has also started off this season in superb form with nine goals coming from his 16 league games; goals that have also come fairly cheaply with 2.5 shots per game. The player also enjoys 2.1 dribbles per game, showing the ability that he has with the ball at his feet.
