West Ham United target Jermaine Beckford

West Ham United have made an enquiry for Leicester City striker Jermaine Beckford, according to Sky Sports News.

The East London club have been targeting a number of strikers during the January transfer window including Nikica Jelavic and Jordan Rhodes.

Former Leeds and Everton man Beckford only joined the Foxes in the summer and has scored seven goals, with only two coming in the league.

Genoa forward Ze Eduardo has reportedly arrived in London ahead of a medical and will complete his move tomorrow.

The Hammers are currently leading the Championship on 53 points, three clear of Southampton.
