West Ham Super Fans want Alexandre Lacazette signed

Arsenal are keen on offloading West Ham target Alexandre Lacazette in the January transfer window, according to Jeunes Footeux.
The 30-year-old is out of contract at the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season so if the Gunners are to cash in then the winter is the final opportunity.
They’re certain that they want to part ways with the France international so if the Hammers want to sign him, they will have a good chance.
Despite his absence of form and lack of goals of late, some Irons fans are still keen on the player’s services.
Even though he’s 30, they believe he can add something different to this side.
Here’s what they said:
Bad idea
The Hammers have wanted to sign a striker ever since Sebastien Haller departed, but have failed in their quests so far.
Michail Antonio has stepped up and delivered while leading the line for David Moyes, but surely a striker is the need of the hour.
While Lacazette of a few seasons ago would be an instant starter for the Hammers, we don’t think he’s good enough to do so right now.
He struggles to get a game at Arsenal and whenever he plays there are no guarantees of him finding the net.
He may have scored on Monday night against Crystal Palace, but he’s not a reliable option for Mikel Arteta.
At 30, he would also not be a signing for the future so Moyes must stay away from signing him.
