Swansea City striker Zan Vipotnik is a target for West Ham United. The Hammers are eyeing the 24-year-old Slovenian striker to boost their promotion chances.
What happened?
West Ham United have been linked with a move for Vipotnik, who scored 23 goals and provided three assists in 44 Championship games last season.
Why it matters for Swansea City
Vipotnik's potential departure could be a significant blow to Swansea City's chances of promotion. The striker was the top scorer in the Championship last season and has been described as a 'machine' by Swansea manager Vitor Matos.
What comes next?
West Ham United will need to convince Vipotnik to join the club, with the striker having admitted he would love to play in the Premier League. The Hammers are also considering a squad overhaul and are looking to recruit a new director of football, with former Newcastle United head of recruitment Steve Nickson under serious consideration.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Goals scored by Vipotnik | 23 |

Swansea City will be hoping to keep hold of their star striker, but the lure of the Premier League may prove too strong. Vipotnik's future is uncertain, and it remains to be seen whether he will stay with Swansea City or make the move to West Ham United.
