West Ham will be playing at the Olympic Stadium next year in front of 60,000 fans every other week, and the Hammers fans here in the Transfer Tavern are incredibly excited!
Slaven Bilic will be hoping to make at least one marquee this summer, and with the Euros taking place in less than three weeks, Europe’s best strikers will be on show.
West Ham finished a very respectable seventh in the Premier League this season, but with the West Ham board owning plenty of cash, the Irons can surely expect to see some new faces wearing claret and blue next season.
With Euro 2016 just around the corner, clubs will no doubt have a keen eye on the tournament, searching for the best talent to emerge from the championships in France.
Here are FIVE top Euro 2016 strikers that could join West Ham this summer………

Mario Mandzukic
The Croatian talisman has been a real threat for Juventus this year.
Mandzukic has played for European giants such as Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich too, where he won the Champions League in 2013.
The 29- year-old may want a new challenge and West Ham could be an ideal place for him.
Mandzukic will without a doubt add to his 21 goals for Croatia this summer, when he faces the Czech Republic, Spain and Turkey in Group D.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
This one would be a surprise but it was only ten years ago that Carlos Tevez was playing for West Ham at Upton Park.
The big Swede is a free agent after leaving PSG, and has an incredible record of winning the title in each of his last 11 seasons at Barcelona, PSG, Juventus amongst many other clubs.
This could be the 34-year-olds’ last chance to play in the Premier League and any side would be lucky to have him.
Aleksandr Kokorin
The 25-year-old may be relatively unknown as he plays his football in Russia, but there is no denying his quality.
Kokorin has 11 goals for the Russian national side and will look to add to his tally in Group B against England, Slovakia and Wales.
West Ham would surely have to break their £15 million transfer record to sign him, but Kokorin is surely better than Andy Carroll anyway.
Breel Embolo
Another unknown forward here but in my opinion, Embolo is the best option of the lot.
The 19-year-old is powerful, strong, quick and can shoot with either foot.
Embolo scored 10 goals this season and has already scored for the Swiss national team.
Embolo will face Albania, Romania and France in Group A.
Daniel Sturridge
Everybody surely knows Daniel Sturridge?
Sturrridge is in England’s Euro 2016 provisional squad and will surely make the final 23, after his spectacular goal in the Europa League final on Wednesday.
Sturridge has found it difficult to break into Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side this season and will perhaps be heading for the exit door.
If Sturridge can make the England line up ahead of Kane, Vardy of Rooney, he will presumably contribute to his five England goals as the Three Lions face Russia, Slovakia and Wales in Group B.
