West Ham United plot audacious bids for trio?

Daniel Sturridge, Christian Benteke and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are all on West Ham United's summer transfer radar, according to a report.

West Ham United have reportedly made marquee signings their number one aim this summer ahead of the club's move from Upton Park to the Olympic Stadium.

According to the Brentwood Gazette, manager Slaven Bilic has put Liverpool strikers Daniel Sturridge and Christian Benteke at the top of his hitlist.

England international Sturridge is said to be considering his options following criticism over his recent injury record, while Benteke has struggled for form since his £32.5m arrival from Aston Villa last year.

The report adds that the Hammers have set aside £45m to secure the services of both players in a double swoop.

Meanwhile, the same publication claims that Bilic is an admirer of Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The 22-year-old started last night's 2-0 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League, but he has often found it tough to make Arsene Wenger's starting lineup on a consistent basis this term.

It has been suggested that West Ham are prepared to test the water with a £15m bid for the England international.
