West Ham have inquired about Jamie Vardy as they bid to bolster their attack ahead of the new Championship season.
The 39-year-old is a free agent having left Cremonese following their relegation from Serie A last season.
The Hammers are targeting an immediate return to the Premier League following their own fall to the second tier.
The east London outfit made a winning start to the 2026/27 campaign as they beat Portsmouth in the first round of the Carabao Cup on Saturday, with Taty Castellanos scoring twice.
Nuno Espírito Santo remins keen on adding another striker to his ranks as the Hammers prepare for their league opener against Burnley this Sunday.
Concerns persist at the London stadium regarding attacking depth, with Pablo still waiting to score his first goal for the team following his £21m arrival from Gil Vicente in January.
Additionally, Niclas Fullkrug has returned from his loan spell with AC Milan but has been left without a squad number.
Their biggest coup is keeping hold of Jarrod Bowen – though talkSPORT understands he can leave next summer for £15m should they fail to get promoted.
As a result, West Ham are interested in Vardy, who is available on a free transfer after scoring seven Serie A goals for Cremonese.
He was back training at League One Leicester, but there was never a possibility of a return to his former club.
Vardy had the option of an extra year in Italy, but it was subject to securing safety, and that never happened.
Those close to Vardy have said he has several options, including some from the MLS, and he is assessing his next steps.
