West Ham are willing to listen to offers for injury-prone striker duo Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho as Slaven Bilic plans for new signings, according to the Mirror.

The news outlet details that the Croatian boss is looking to bring in two new forwards this summer with the club in talks with Bayer Leverkusen’s Javier Hernandez, while Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi, Manchester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho, Benfica’s Raul Jimenez and Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud are all also said to be on the Hammers’ shortlist.

This could see some already at the club make way and it is reported that Carroll and Sakho, who spent large parts of the last campaign on the treatment table could fall victim.

The towering Carroll made the switch to east London in the summer of 2013 from Liverpool for a fee of £15million after an initial loan spell.

The 28-year-old has since played 114 times for the club, bringing a return of 30 goals, but the forward with two years remaining on his contract managed just 18 Premier League matches last season with a return of seven goals.

Meanwhile, Sakho, 27, who joined the club for an undisclosed fee in 2014 has seen even less football with 54 games played in total for the Hammers, returning 20 goals and in the last campaign he managed just four league appearances, which saw him score once.

The Senegalese hitman has also entered the final year of his contract and now his time at the club could be nearing an end after almost joining West Brom last summer.
