West Ham United have reportedly added Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz to their list of striker targets.
Danny Ings is currently West Ham's only fit forward due to injuries to Niclas Fullkrug, Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen.
As a result, the Hammers are desperate to recruit a new striker before the transfer window shuts on February 3.
According to The Standard, they are considering a move for Muniz after identifying the Fulham man as a potential target.
The report claims that Fulham will only sell Muniz for a 'substantial offer', while they will entertain a loan proposal if it includes an obligation to buy.
Muniz is currently behind Raul Jimenez in the pecking order at Craven Cottage, restricting him to five starts in 20 Premier League appearances.
The Brazilian, who arrived from Flamengo in 2021, is under contract until the summer of 2026, with an option to extend by a further year.

Atalanta pushing to re-sign Almiron
Over in the MLS, Atlanta United are reportedly working on a deal to re-sign Newcastle attacker Miguel Almiron.
The Paraguay international has been linked with a move away after falling down the pecking order at St James' Park.
Almiron has started just one of his eight Premier League appearances this term, with that solitary start coming in October's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.
According to The Athletic, Atlanta are willing to offer Almiron an escape route, with the MLS club working to agree a transfer with the Magpies.
The report claims that Atalanta have submitted a £11m bid to sign a player who has entered the final 18 months of his Newcastle contract.
While Newcastle are still considering the proposal, there is a belief that the two clubs could come to an agreement in the coming days.
Almiron previously spent two years at Atalanta, scoring 22 goals and providing 21 assists in 70 appearances before he left for Newcastle in January 2019.

Cardiff eyeing Salech move
Meanwhile, in the Championship, Cardiff City are reportedly interested in signing Yousef Salech from Swedish side Sirius.
Cardiff are looking to sign a new striker to aid in their survival bid, with the Bluebirds currently sitting just outside the drop zone.
The Welsh side have already failed with a bid for Peterborough United's Ricky-Jade Jones, and it now appears that they are turning their focus to an alternative target.
According to BBC Sport, Cardiff are eyeing a potential move for Salech, who could command a fee between £3m to £4m.
The 22-year-old has scored 13 goals in 29 competitive appearances since he joined Sirius from Danish club Brondby in February 2024.
As per Wales online, the Dane has also been attracting interest from Al Ahly in Egypt, Molde in Norway and Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia, but it appears that Cardiff are leading the race for his signature.
