# West Ham United: Hammers fans buzz over Alexandre Lacazette development

**Flocking to Twitter, many West Ham United fans have been left buzzing after a transfer development as they target Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette.**

Amid new head of recruitment Rob Newman’s search for a back-up option to Michail Antonio, there have been [no shortage of names linked.](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10111581/Tottenham-join-Atletico-Dortmund-West-Ham-race-sign-Genk-striker-Paul-Onuachu.html)

\[freshpress-poll id=”377720″\]

One of the more recent ones is Lacazette, who could even leave for free in 2022 with his Gunners contract expiring at the end of the season, prompting West Ham to take notice.
