West Ham United targets Jamie Vardy and young prospects in transfer window

West Ham United is actively pursuing several targets to bolster its squad before the transfer window closes. The club has not ruled out a move for 39-year-old striker Jamie Vardy, who could provide veteran depth and impact as an off-the-bench option. Additionally, the club is reportedly prioritizing a deal for AZ Alkmaar striker Troy Parrott following an agreement for midfielder Arne Engels.

In the pursuit of younger talent, West Ham has reportedly submitted an £8 million bid for Viking FK winger Edvin Austbo. The club is also competing with Serie A side Lecce for the services of Kongsvinger IL winger Daniel Job, following an opening bid of £3.5 million. The club's recruitment strategy appears focused on adding both experienced goal-scoring options and high-potential young players to the roster.
