Swansea City's Zan Vipotnik has emerged as a key target for West Ham in their post-relegation rebuild, with the Slovenian striker's impressive metrics making him a prime candidate to spearhead the Hammers' frontline in the Premier League. Vipotnik, who finished the campaign with an Expected Goals measurement of 18.3, has netted 25 times in only 49 outings for Swansea since joining them from Bordeaux two years ago. Capped 24 times by Slovenia, he also amassed an impressive 11 assists but was unable to help his side secure top-six qualification. Those statistics have helped him collect an army of admirers both at home and abroad, which is likely to materialise into a move away from South Wales before the start of the new campaign. With West Ham anticipated to be among the main challengers for automatic promotion next term, the prospect of being able to bed himself into a team before enjoying a chance to spearhead its frontline in the Premier League would be an attractive proposition for the 24-year-old, who began his career with Maribor before heading to France. West Ham's interest in Zan Vipotnik fits Nuno Espírito Santo's clear brief: EFL-proven, high-output attackers who can handle the Championship grind. If this gathers pace, don't be surprised to see his price shorten quickly in the next club markets.
