| Syedou Doumbia is reported to be a target for West Ham |
WEST HAM have lodged a bid of £16million for Roma striker Seydou Doumbia, according to reports in Italy.
The Ivory Coast international was one of Europe's most in-demand strikers in the summer but opted to move on loan to CSKA Moscow.
That was despite reported interest from Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham.
And Football Italia claim West Ham will now beat them all by cutting his loan spell short and landing him in the January transfer window.
Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is understood to be keen on adding a new forward to his squad when the transfer window opens.
With Andy Carroll's future at Upton Park uncertain, they might need new faces and Doumbia appears to fit the bill.
Since moving fro Russia, the 27-year-old has hit five goals this term.

| Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is looking for new strikers in January |
He originally moved to Roma from the Russian giants in January last year but struggled to settle in Italy
Just two goals in 15 Serie A games prompted a move away but his form since then has prompted interest around Europe once again.
English football fans caught a glimpse of the man who could arrive on these shores in Moscow's Champions League clashes with Manchester United.
He scored in the 1-1 draw in Russia and was impressive again in the return game at Old Trafford, which United won 1-0.
