# Free agent hell bent on West Ham United or Sunderland switch

[![3508154](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/3508154-500x339.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/3508154.jpg)The West Ham United fans have been treated to an abundance of attacking arrivals at Upton Park this summer.

But according to [talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/former-siena-star-targets-sunderland-or-west-ham-switch-140915113788), the Hammers could bring in yet another striker with rivals Sunderland also keen on one particular target.

Reports suggest that Innocent Emeghara is in England to seal a deal with either of the Premier League clubs as a free agent.

The released Siena star spent last season on loan at Livorno before his contract with the former ended – leaving him free to discuss terms with potential suitors.

And it is believed that Emeghara is keen on a switch to the Premier League as he tries to regain his place in the Switzerland squad.

The striker said: “I have been  released and am in England to deal with several clubs interested.

“It’s always been my dream to play in England because I think English football is the best in the world and my style of play fits in well with England.

“I want to find a new club as soon as possible to get back to playing and scoring in order to get back in the national team.”
