West Ham United are prepared to field offers for all four of their strikers this month as David Moyes plots a radical squad overhaul, according to The Sun.
The newspaper report that Moyes does not believe any of the attackers he has inherited from former boss Slaven Bilic are absolutely integral to his plans for the rest of the season.
The Sun claim that this could mean Andy Carroll or Javier Hernandez are sold this month if the right offers come in for them, with Andre Ayew and Diafra Sakho the more likely departures.
Ghana international Ayew is reportedly seen as too inconsistent, with Senegal striker Sakho the most likely sale, as he is not fully trusted by the West Ham coaching staff.
It is said that Moyes is willing to give £16million signing Hernandez until the end of the season to find form and fitness, but would be willing to sell if an offer came in around that mark.
Carroll is reportedly seen as the club’s senior striker, but his injury record has seen little return on his £120,000-a-week wages, and with Chelsea reportedly interested, the club know they could command a fee of around £20million for the 29-year-old.
Good move for West Ham?
It is understandable that Moyes does not seen any of these players to be indispensable.
Carroll is unplayable at times, but his injury record is appalling.
Hernandez has shown flashes of his brilliance this season, but there has been little return on the £16million paid for him just six months ago.
Ayew is another who does not produce on a regular basis, and the man who does have a half-decent goal record, Sakho, is seen as surplus to requirements.

Likely to happen?
The deal that is definitely likely to happen is Sakho, and Crystal Palace have been heavily linked with the Senegal international.
Ayew is another possible, but West Ham will probably ask for too much money for a deal to occur.
It would seem unlikely that Carroll or Hernandez would be sold this month, unless a silly offer came in for either.
