It seems West Ham are in danger of starting the season with no strikers. Arnautovic surely has to go now he's started agitating for a move again, while Javier Hernandez has also expressed a desire to leave. Andy Carroll has been released, Perez has been sold and forgotten man Jordan Hugill is likely to be moved on. Which could mean that we're down to Michail Antonio or a fit-again Andriy Yarmolenko as emergency striker.
Pellegrini will have to do some deals in July and either spend big on Maxi Gomez or move for West Brom's Salomon Rondon. He's a bit on the old side at 29 (30 in September) but Rondon does guarantee ten or so Premier League goals a season and is an unselfish player and effective target man. With Anderson, Lanzini and Fornals providing the service he might get a lot more goals than he got at defensive teams like Tony Pulis's West Brom or Rafa Benitez's Newcastle. We could do worse than go for the big Venezuelan.

We don't appear to have a youngster ready to step up then
There's only Silva who presumably isn't ready.
