West Ham United are reportedly eyeing up a potential move for Freiburg winger Roland Sallai in the January transfer window.

The Lowdown: Reinforcements needed

West Ham are currently struggling near the foot of the Premier League table, just one point above the relegation zone after losing four games in a row.

They have only managed to score a mere 13 goals in the division so far, the fourth-fewest of all 20 teams, and should be looking at attacking reinforcements in order to help bolster their squad for the second part of the season, which includes a UEFA Conference League campaign as well.

The Latest: Sallai interest

Taking to Twitter, journalist Bence Bocsak has revealed that the Hammers are one of five clubs 'interested' in signing Sallai in January, and Freiburg want €20m (£17.7m) in order to sanction a move:

"Many clubs are interested in Roland Sallai (25) in January. He switched agencies recently and is open to a move. Lazio, Wolverhampton, West Ham, Sevilla and Fiorentina are all possible destinations. He has 4 G/As in his last 4 Hungarian caps. Freiburg want €20m."

The Verdict: Get it done?

David Moyes could do with some more attacking options in his squad, and Sallai would offer excellent squad depth.

Hailed as a player who 'can decide a game on his own' by former Bundesliga and Hungary goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly, the 25-year-old boasts 32 goals and 25 assists at club level in his senior career so far (14 goal contributions in 38 caps for Hungary.

Sallai is not afraid to have a pop at goal, ranking in the 83rd percentile for average shots per game of all wingers in Europe's top five leagues over the past year, while he also boasts a significant aerial threat, ranking in the 94th percentile for aerials won per match (FBRef).

He actually shares a similar playing style to Irons wingers Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma, so should be able to settle in quickly at the London Stadium.
