West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has hinted at a bid to sign Carlos Bacca from AC Milan next month.
The Colombia international was a target for the London club in the previous transfer window but ultimately decided to stay and fight for his place at San Siro.
"Maybe," he said. "We tried. He was one of our targets in the summer. It was in the papers and it was true.
"But then the deal didn't go through because of a few things and he decided to stay at Milan. He is still there. He doesn't play a lot which is also an issue.
"We need a player with match fitness. This is the Premier League. There is always a risk - even more players that do have match fitness and are playing week in, week out.
"I'm not just talking about Bacca but lots of that type of player."
