West Ham transfer news: Hal Robson-Kanu watches Hammers play Chelsea and could be answer to striker crisis

HAL ROBSON-KANU took in West Ham's trip to London rivals Chelsea as he searches for a new club.
The Welshman has been linked with Crystal Palace and Hull in the Premier League, as well as several clubs abroad - including Atletico Madrid - after a stunning Euro 2016 campaign.
And with the Hammers struggling to land their top targets up front, Robson-Kanu's appearance could prove to be no coincidence.
Reading let the powerful striker, 27, leave this summer before Wales's fairytale run to the semi-finals in France.
Robson-Kanu scored the winner in the Dragons' Group B opener against Slovakia.
And the cult hero - renowned for his determination and selflessness up front - proved his class with a stunner against Belgium which was named goal of the tournament.
Robson-Kanu brought down the ball in the area and skinned three defenders with a brilliant Cruyff Turn before slotting past Thibaut Courtois.
West Ham are desperate to splash the cash on a striker and have been linked with Christian Benteke, Alexandre Lacazette, Michy Batshuayi and Mario Gomez.
But Slaven Bilic has failed to convince any of them to join his Champions League push.
Robson-Kanu would be a step down from the Croat's targets so far.
But his new-found fame and lack of a price tag would make him a tempting proposition for the Hammers.
Wales assistant Osian Roberts admits he is keen for Robson-Kanu to find a new club - but urged him to make sure he does not rush his decision.
He said: "The important thing is that Hal gets the right move.
"There's no point rushing into something if he feels it's not the right one or if he's convinced it's not the right one for his career to progress.
"Everybody understands that's the most important thing but at the same time, he like us, hopes that happens sooner rather than later because everyone's back training and playing games regularly.
"It's important for him that he gets back in the swing of things."
