West Ham monitor Josh Sargent for January move

West Ham are evaluating Norwich striker Josh Sargent after sending scouts to watch the 25 year old United States International. With Niclas Fullkrug struggling and Callum Wilson out of favour, West Ham need attacking reinforcements to boost their Premier League survival hopes. Norwich, battling in the Championship, risk weakening their squad if Sargent leaves in January.

For the upcoming transfer window, West Ham United have turned their attention toward Norwich City striker Josh Sargent as they search for a reliable goal scorer. The 25 year old United States forward has been in consistent form in the Championship and continues to attract interest from Premier League clubs. West Ham recently sent scouts to assess his performances, indicating genuine consideration of a January move.

Sargent was strongly linked with Leeds United in the summer, but no deal was agreed. With Norwich struggling in the Championship, the striker may now be more open to taking the step up. For West Ham, the need is clear. Niclas Fullkrug has not lived up to expectations, while Nuno Espirito Santo appears reluctant to rely on Callum Wilson. The lack of goals has contributed to their current fight for Premier League survival.

Sargent’s familiarity with English football and his proven work rate make him an appealing option. Even though he has not played in the Premier League recently, he is viewed as someone who can adapt quickly and bring immediate impact. Norwich, however, will be disappointed to lose a key player in the middle of their own battle to avoid further decline. Whether West Ham follow their scouting with an official bid remains to be seen.
