West Ham have been desperately searching for more attacking options in the current window and recent reports claimed a big offer was set to be lodged for Lyon’s star.
The manager also took time to reveal that Argentine striker Jonathan Calleri will join them on a season-long loan soon and that addition will be enough to add proper balance to his squad.
Slaven Bilic has ruled West Ham out of the race to sign Lyon striker Alezandre Lacazette, something we knew already.
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has called off the hunt – leaving Arsenal to attempt to prise the frontman away from a club which keeps bumping up the price to ensure the 25-year-old stays put.
However it could prove strenuous, with European football a possibility, and Bilic has said that he might need one more signing, but confirmed it will not be long-term target Alexandre Lacazette.
“It doesn’t matter whether you’ve come over from the academy or if you’re a top player like John Terry, he’s always trying to make you better which is something I admire about him”. You need a squad, of course, but it is all about the balance. “I’m happy to be in the same squad as him”.

In their report confirming the deal, the Guardian have claimed that the Hammers have had to shell out £4 million to ensure that they stayed ahead of their rivals to bring Calleri to London. He was very excited about coming to West Ham.
