Securing a striker without a transfer fee offers the Hammers a chance to enhance their offensive depth, yet analysts have suggested caution regarding the player's profile. The club must now decide whether to continue their pursuit of the unattached goalscorer or focus on alternative targets to strengthen the squad for future matches.
